I connect successfully to an Oracle Database from Oracle SQL Developer with the following settings:

enter image description here

but if I connect with the same settings from the command line

sqlplus [email protected]:1521/ORCLPDB1

I get

ERROR:
ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA

what does this mean?

As indicated in the SQLPlus documentation, to use this form of connect string on the command line, you need to enclose the whole thing in double quotes:

sqlplus PDBADMIN@"172.28.59.199:1521/ORCLPDB1"

(Depending on your OS, you may also need to escape those quotes with a backslash.)

I think syntactically this is necessary to distinguish /servicename from /password.
