When i try to describe a table in remote D.B i get the following error:

SQL> desc tnv_sys_synch_y
ERROR:
ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found

BUT ANY QUERY ON THE TABLE IS SUCCESSFULL:

SQL> select count(*) from tnv_sys_synch_y;

COUNT(*)
----------
0

Here tnv_sys_synch_y is a private synonym to the table in the remote DB. If i use the fully qualified name of the table then i can describe it.
SQL> desc pans.tnv_sys_synch_t@UPANWS03_BPA_UPD;
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------------------- -------- ------------------------------------
SYS_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(3)
NPA NOT NULL NUMBER(3)
NXX NOT NULL NUMBER(3)
LINE_X NOT NULL NUMBER(1)
LINE NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
SYS_STAT_CD NOT NULL NUMBER(2)
LASTUPD NOT NULL DATE

What seems to be the problem with synonym. Why can't i describe the table through the synonym.
