TNS: Protocol Adpater Error on installation of AS 10.1.2 on MS Vista home

Hi,
I am trying to install for personal learning purposes, Oracle AS10g (10.1.2) on MS Vista home premium.
While installing Infrastructure, when it goes to Configuration Assistants, I get a consistent error on the Database Configuration Assistant which fails the installation. The error is as follows:
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
Does anyone know how to resolve it please?
many thanks,
AMN

Hi all
After a long research and help of Oracle support, the problem has been identified and put into Bug 7123031.
In case I any one is upgrading AS to 10.1.2.3 patchset & are getting the similar issue as above mentioned Bug "DML RETURNING VALUE STOPS WORKING IN FORM 10.1.2.3"
Get the patch for your OS currently.
Regards
Sanjeev

  • ORA-12560: TNS: protocol adapter error while linking tables in Access

    One of my app dev is encountering an interesting error message while linking Oracle tables from Access. I am not able to able to reproduce this in my desktop or anywhere else. Details enclosed. Can you guys point me to a solution? Thanks in advance!
    ODBC: Oracle Client version 10.2.0.1
    Desktop : Win XP ; Access 2003
    =>Able to login to the Oracle database sucessfully using sqlplus.
    =>Able to create an ODBC datasource to Oracle database.("Test Connection" works fine)
    =>But encountering the TNS protocol adpater error while linking the table(Access->File->Get External Data-> Link tables).
    =>Not able to link any table in any schema in any Oracle database. Hence this is not a data centric issue.
    What did I do?
    => Uninstalled Oracle 8 client and installed Oracle 10 client. No luck. Encountering the same error.
    => Turned on the ODBC trace and reproduced the error. The log is enclosed:

    Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
    I've read all the posts mentioned (quite a few more) but I couldn't find any suggested solution to the "non-oracle10g"-problem other than using the global db name instead of the sid - which didn't help in our case:
    However, in a last desperate attempt to solve the problem on my own before launching another cry-for-help-post I did try running the configuration assistant using the correct password for the SYS user 8-} and - strange but true - it did work :-)
    Needless to say: I used the global db name of course, so I can't say what would have happened without it, but I trust your hint was a legitimate one.
    Anyway - I gues that error Message concerning a "non-oracle10g database" was slightly misleading in this case.... grrrr.

  • Oracle Database 11g Installation Issue: ORA-12560:TNS: protocol adapter error.

    Folks,
    Hello. Initially, my Windows XP host name is "localhost" and IP address 127.0.0.1.
    I installed Oracle Database 11g with Windows XP successfully and all Database clients work with Database instance correctly.
    For some reasons, I uninstalled the entire Database Server and delete the entire installation directory /oracle.
    I configured Windows XP IP address into 192.168.196.101 in order to ping other machines.
    For my need, I installed Oracle Database 11g with Windows XP again. On step 7 of 8: Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, I got this error:
    ORA-12560:TNS: protocol adapter error.
    I click "Password Management" button, there are no rows in this Windows (no username, no lock accounts).
    I check listener as below:
    C:\>lsnrctl
    LSNRCTL>start
    Its output: listener name LISTENER has already been started.
    LSNRCTL>status
    Its output: ......Service DB1 has 1 instance. Instance DB1 status ready. The command completed successfully.
    I check \Oracle\cfgtoollogs\dbca\DB1\trace file, the entry is :
    listen[0]=LISTENER address=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(port=1522))
    I also check \oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\SAMPLE\tnsnames.ora file and listener.ora file, the entries are the same as below
    HOST=localhost  port=1522
    I think HOST=localhost and port=1522 is the cause of the error ORA-12560 because Windows XP has been configured into HOST=192.168.196.101.
    But I don't understand how to solve this issue.
    Can any folk tell me how to solve this issue ? need to cancel the installation on step 7 of 8 and install it again ?
    Thanks.

    Folks,
    Hello. Oracle Database 11g Installation Wizard is on step 7 of 8. I don't cancel the Wizard. I am not sure whether there is effect or not. listener.ora is not removed. I have been waiting for a while after stop listener.  I run the 3 commands again and copy the result as below:

  • 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>.

  • TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error Windows XP

    have Oracle 9i and 10g installation on Windows XP

    Any suggestions for how to fix this error?

    What's the status of the corresponding Windows service? OS error 1058 means normally service is deactivated. In the worst case it could be necessary to remove the service from the registry. Afterwards reboot the machine and recreate the service by 'lsnrctl start'.

  • 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.

    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

    Is there any other service I need to look into.

  • 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!

  • ORA-12560: TNS protocol adapter error for 11g

    I'm attempting to install Oracle 11g in my Windows 2008 Doamin machine.
    During the installation of database configuration assistant, I got the
    pop up error "ORA-12560: TNS protocol adapter error." I tried it
    twice and still failed. I have no idea what's going on. Any ideas?

    hi,

    I am using Windows Vista 64 Bit OS....IF you are using DHCP to get the IP address, and you have not installed the Microsoft Loopback Adapter, the chances are very high that you will get 12560.
    It is also possible to get that message is you are not using the same adapter (or do not have networking) when the listener attempts to start or when trying to connect.
    Post the results of
    ipconfig /all
    lsnrctl status
    and the contents of the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora found in the %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin directory
    And tell us what steps you skipped/missed in the install doc at http://www.oracle.com/pls/xe102/homepage

  • Ora 12560 - TNS Protocol Adaptor Error

    Hi .
    I have downloaded Oracle 11 g from Oracle .com
    After installation i started Command line for oracle
    Used c:\> sqlplus
    After entering username and password which i set at the time on installation
    I got error
    ORA 12560 : TNS Protocol Adaptor error
    Any idea....
    Thanks

    Hello,
    You may set the ORACLE_SID first:
    set ORACLE_SID=XE
    sqlplus user/passwordElse, check for the Service OracleServiceXE in the Control Pannel. It should be started.
    Hope this help.

  • Reply to : TNS:protocol adapter error while starting Listener created by Oracle SES11.1.2.2 Setup

    To answer the post from Manwendra Jun 20, 2013 7:17 AM
    " TNS:protocol adapter error while starting Listener created by Oracle SES11.1.2.2 Setup "
    https://community.oracle.com/message/11077982#11077982
    Hello,
    Probably that you already have the listener up and running from your installation of SES.
    Also, you could check in your Windows Services (from the Control Panel), you'll see that
    there is a service like OraclesesTNSListener up and running.
    If it is the case, then it's probably why it is telling you the message below when trying to start it again:
    TNS-01106: Listener using listener name LISTENER has already been started
    Then, before trying to start the listener, you can check if it is already up by running the command : lsnrctl status
    If you need to shut it down, then you can run the command : lsnrctl stop
    for example, from the command line:
    > set ORACLE_SID=ASUSES
    > set ORACLE_BASE=D:\ses\
    > set ORACLE_HOME=D:\ses\seshome
    > cd %ORACLE_HOME%/bin
    > lsnrctl status            <== this will give you the status of your listener
    > lsnrctl stop              <== this will stop your listener
    > lsnrctl start             <== this will start your listener
    Hope this can help you and others.
    Regards,
    -Stephan

    i have done that. i copied the tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora, listener.ora files from the c:>oracle-home\network\admin folder into oracle_devhome\network\admin folder. i have also set the environment variable oracle_sid=skoolman. skoolman is my sid as you can see on the tnsnames.ora. but the error massage still comes up as soon as i run forms from the forms builder environment.
    but as i said i am able to connect to the database with my user name and pass word from within the forms builder environment to access my tables and create data blocks etc but as soon as i run the form through internet explorer the forms servlet boots up and the error massage ora-12560 tns protocol adapter error pops up.
    thanks guys for your heip. please i need more solutions
