ORA-12560 :TNS protocal adapter error

Hi everyone,
                 I'm using Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition Server in Windows 8.1. I'm getting the TNS protocal adapter error. My service is not up(I checked in the services using services.msc).
Until Yesterday It worked well for me, I got this error after I updated from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1.
Here is my tnsnames.ora file data,
ORCL =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Andrew)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
Here is my listener.ora file data,
LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Andrew)(PORT = 1521))
I have tried this to start the server, It throws the following error.
F:\app\alex\product\11.1.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN>lsnrctl start

Thanks for all your reply, I thought whether It was my fault and I tried a lot of commands which I found in this Oracle Forum for more than 3hours, just now I found a link(The problem is because when I moved Windows 8 to 8.1), I found this link fortunately.

    Does anyone have any ideas what else I can check. I'm a Unix person, not a Windows person, which is making it even more complicated. If I was on Unix, I'd just blow everything away and start again from scratch, but since I'm not sure how to remove all traces from the registry, etc., I don't want to try that on this machine. There was already one other database created, but it's not goign to be used.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    regards,
    Tarisa.

    hi,
    thanks for the info. the problem, as it turns out, was that I was connected to the db server via a terminal service (Microsoft Management Console), which for some reason caused probelms with TNS. After I connected directly to the machine using VNC, I was able to create the database with no problems. strange but true.
    regards,
    Tarisa.

  • ORA-12560 TNS protocol Adapter error in 11g (11.1.0.6)

    Hello All,
    I have Oracle 11g installed on my machine and when i tried to log in to sql plus i got the error below:
    ORA-12560 TNS protocol Adapter error
    By setting the ORACLE_SID = orcl by browsing to the bin directory of Oracle Installation the above error disappaears and i am able to log in from sql plus.
    My intention is to create a db backup for which i am trying to use the exp command...this time the same error appears.
    Also the solution of setting the ORACLE_SID is cumbersome..everytimt i want to use sql plus i need to go in and set the ORACLE_SID.
    Can anybody please help me out find a good solution for this?
    Any help would be appreciated friends.....
    Thanks in Advance!!!!!
    Regards.
    Alicia

    Also the solution of setting the ORACLE_SID is cumbersome..everytimt i want to use sql plus i need to go in and set the ORACLE_SID.
    Can anybody please help me out find a good solution for this?The solution depends on your (not specified) operating system...
    Anyway, if you have more than one database it's normal that you have to set ORACLE_SID, if not how can Oracle know which database you want to access to ?
    You can create batch files, one per database, or you can use connection strings, e.g. sqlplus username/password@<DB>.

  • ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error in Oracle Forms...

    Hi, I installed Oracle developer suite to use for Oracle forms but am getting "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error" when trying to run a form. The database is running locally on my PC.
    I've run the command line to see if hostname matches up with the "HOST= " in the ".../network/admin/listener.ora " file match, they do. What can I try next? I did have Oracle 10gXE installed, which I have now removed. I'm including my tnsnames and listener file content:

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Of course you found another one. Each .and every Oracle database client home (such as developer, app server) has one.
    Don't just change the port - the tnsnames.ora in the dev home does not point to a database service. It only points to an extproc [external procedure called by a database]. You need to put a database service entry into that file similar to the one in the database home. (Easiest solution - copy the tnsnames.ora from db home ... after you've made a backup)
    And please don't tell me you are using Developer 6i - a simple Google search would verify that the networking is incompatible.

  • How to solve ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error?

    I'm trying to use sqlplus on Windows 2008 R2 which is installed on VirtualBox to access an Oracle 11gR2 database on Red Hat Linux.
    I'm sure that the database on Red Hat Linux is up and tnsnames.ora is a copy from another machine which is used by another application to connect to the same Oracle database.
    When I run sqlplus, I got the ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
    sqlnet.ora
    SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)
    Both sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora are located in c:\app\administrator\product\11.2.0\client64\network\admin folder.
    The registry ORACL_HOME has c:\app\administrator\product\11.2.0\client64.
    echo %ORACLE_HOME% incommand window returns %ORACLE_HOME%
    echo %ORACL_SID% in command window returns %ORACLE_SID%
    If I set ORACLE_HOME to another folder, I will get the following error:
    Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus
    SP2-0667: Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
    SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory
    So, I believe the ORACLE_HOME in registry has the correct value.
    I have also tried set ORACLE_SID to the service name listed in tnsnames.ora but sqlplus still returns the ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error.
    For unknown reason, the value of ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID I set by using set command will not persist after I close the command window that I set the values.

    or just remove the line or whole file.

    ERROR:
    ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
    This is a local connection (called an internal connect in the old days). The connection does not go via the Listener. It is a local IPC connection. And as you can see, you do not supply a database schema and password as credentials - the o/s user and environment need to provide the credentials.
    So I would not expect a TNS protocol adapter error, as this usually indicates a network driver related problem.
    For a local IPC connection to work, TWO_TASK must not be set, and ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME must be set (and valid). The local client driver needs to launch an Oracle server process (dedicated server process to service the client driver). It finds that executable in ORACLE_HOME/bin. Next it needs that server process to "attach" itself to the database's brains (the SGA). This shared memory area is identified via the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID variables.
    There also is a requirement that the dedicated server process created, has the o/s permissions to attach to the SGA - which means it  needs to be run as the same o/s user as the owner of the shared memory (in other words, the client should be running in the same o/s user as the database processes).
    Thus the need to have these variables set. And no need for using a Listener - it is not a factor.

  • Gives  ORA-12560: TNS: protocol adapter error when installing oracle 10g

    I tried to install oracle 10g r2 in server 2008. but it gives ORA-12560: TNS: protocol adapter error when installing. how I can fix this issue??? please help me ASAP. because its urgent.
    thanks in advance.
    chamara

    Welcome to the forums !
    Pl indicate which version of 10g you are installing and on which version of Win 2008. Neither 10gR1 nor 10gR2 are certified to be installed on Win 2008 R1, AFAIK.
    For 10gR2, only 10.2.0.5 is certified for Win 2008 R2 - see MOS Doc 1173433.1 (How to Install Oracle 10.2.0.5 on MS Windows 7 / Windows 2008R2)
    Also see MOS Doc 740926.1 (Where can I find the Database / Client software to download for Microsoft Vista, or Windows 2008R1?).
    Both 10gR1 and 10gR2 are now in extended support - is there a reason you are not using 11gR2 ?

  • ORA-12560 TNS:Protocol Adapter Error and ORA-12557 Error

    Hello ,
    I have installed Oracle 11.2.0 64 bit database on my Windows 7 ( Home Premium) PC which is also 64 bit. I installed it because I am trying to setup Informatica. Later, I learnt that informatica is 32 bit and can not communicate to Oracle 11.2.0 64 bit database. So after digging through solutions, someone mentioned that I need to install Oracle 11g client 32bit.
    I have installed 11g client software successfully now. Here is problem though :
    When I launch SQL-Plus from 11g database , it works fine. However I launch SQL-Plus from 32bit client it gives me error as :
    Ora-12560 :TNS: Protocol Adapter Error.
    So I have been trying to resolve this error. I saw that this question has been posted many many times and have tried many thing as listed below :
    1. copy tnsnames.ora from database ( dbhome_1) to client installation ( client_1 ) under ..\network\admin\ --- Didn't work.
    2. Set $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_SID environment variable.
    Here is interesting fact - If I set $ORACLE_HOME to database path and not client path error changes to :
    ORA-12557 TNS: Protocol adapter not loadable.
    If I keep $ORACLE_HOME as client path then I get same error as earlier ORA-12560.
    3. I have also tried changing $PATH variable. I did set to path containing only database installation, only client installation, both database and client installation with database installation appearing first
    But all of these haven't worked.
    Can anyone please suggest what I am missing and any further things I could try ?
    Thank you in advance !

    Thank you in advance !unfortunately, we need to know exactly how you tried to connect with sqlplus when it "worked" and when it "didn't work". The key to the reported error messages is highly dependent on the environment settings AND the specification of the connect string. A copy and paste of the entire command line session would be most helpful.
    But again, running on any 'home' edition of windows is not supported.

  • ORA-12560 "TNS protocol adapter error":Win2k+Oracle8i_32bit.Helplessly struggling.

    Hi Oracle Guru's,
    Please save my life from this typical yet known problem.
    I got an old backup on my tapes about 3 years older. I have windows server 2k where I have an access remotely through RDP(Citrix-CuraStore).
    I installed oracle8i 32 bit on Windows 2k though it got stuck at the end where it installs optional tools(like Net8i assistant), so i closed the installation session, Because I could see Net8i assistant,dbca etc was installed on machine.
    I checked my services, found it had started the Listerner8i service.
    To create a database, I tried to happen it through DBCA...but unfortunately it gave error(ORA-12560 "TNS protocol adapter error"), I ignored it ...but it didnt move to next step...completely stuck up..So closed the session.
    I tried with ORADIM to create service, It did happen, services for database was created, I setup the environment(SID,HOME,PATH) etc.
    When I login with sqlplus , it gives again the same error(ORA-12560 "TNS protocol adapter error"), I tried many things like TCP/IP traffing disabling etc..Nothing worked.
    Can some one please help me and give me some out of box solution..I shall be really really thankful to them.
    Regards,

    Sorry, If I missed to update you back..I apologize.
    Two services(Database Service : OracleServicetest and OracleOraHome81TNSListenerLISTENER_TEST both are up...checked from SERVICES.MSC

  • Ora-12560 tns protocol adapter error (can connect with cmd line creds only)

    SQLPLUS returns the following when trying to log in with user/pass:
    ora-12560 tns protocol adapter error
    Have tried setting ORACLE_SID=VMFG, etc, before launching SQLPLUS, still does not work, though if I do this:
    SQLPLUS SYSADM/SYSADM@db1/VMFG
    it works, which is probably something to do with tnsnames.ora or sqlnet.ora which I copied from our database server? I added the SYSADM/SYSADM account and gave it db rights to VMFG (the db name).
    This is a new installation. What am I doing wrong? tnsping db1 returns pongs, testing the service with the oracle client returns success when I change the u/p to SYSADM/SYSADM. Thanks in advance!
