ORA-12514 ALWAYS only occurs due to a problem on DB Server system.
One cause of this problem is when the Oracle database is down & needs to be started.
A remote client send a request to the Listener asking to be connected to a specific service.
If/when the listener does not know anything about that service, the listener responds with ORA-12514

post results from the following two OS commands:
lsnrctl status
lsnrctl service

Since every connection request to the listener gets logged, listener.log file will contain a line with 12514 as status code.

*This line contains valuable debugging details. So post this line & surrounding lines.*

for additional debugging suggestions read the URL below:

Thanks blackswan for the very prompt response and help,i had one database locally installed and it was on d drive and the one which i was referring to was on remote there was no link, i created one link and then now i am facing the problem like this below.i am also attaching the status files of lsnrctl status and lsnrctl service.If possible kindly tell me what are the exact steps to be followed for uploading the data from .csv to oracle , like where the loader.ctl file should reside.

It appears that - if you tried to connect to RAKDB database, you might have succeeded. There's no ORION there /forum/fa/3314/0/. Finally, there's no LOADER1.CTL file there either.

BTW, what's the point in posting rubbish statements that failed, such as your SPOOL attempts on operating system command prompt; SPOOL belongs to SQL*Plus, not Windows. Redirection works on CMD. Here's an example, so that you'd do that properly next time:
C:\Users\lf>dir *.ctl
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 2857-9020

 Directory of C:\Users\lf

04.05.2012.  22:33               187 test2.ctl
06.06.2012.  21:00               265 test3.ctl
