ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
I do have the entry in TNSNAMES.ORA

any ideas?

The TNS-12154 (ORA-12154) error appears when SQL*Net cannot find the alias specified for a connection in the TNSNAMES.ORA file or other naming adapter.
Since we can clearly see the XE entry in your TNSNAMES.ORA file from your further post, the message implies that you are not using the TNSNAMES.ORA that contains the entry, or something is changing the lookup so the entry is not found.
Using a different TNSNAMES.ORA can occur under the following situations:
1) You have a TNS_ADMIN environment variable or registry entry that points somewhere other than this TNSNAMES.ORA
2) You are on Windows NT and are using a SQLPLus that is in a different ORACLE_HOME. The WIndows environment forces the use of the networking subsystem in the ORACLE_HOME as the client program (such as SQLPLUS), which defaults to the TNSNAMES.ORA in the home as the client.
Things I would check:
- is there another TNSNAMES.ORA anywhere on the system
- is there a system environment variable called TNS_ADMIN, or is that string found in the registry
- is there possibly a second SQLPlus.exe (even on a networked drive) that migt be called before the XE - supplied SQLPLUS
It is also possible to have a SQLNET.ORA impacting the way TNSNAMES.ORA is used. If all else checks out, we should look at the %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\sqlnet.ora in detail as well.
By the way, the Oracle Network Administration docco has two whole chapters devoted to troubleshooting networking issues, from initial config through data errors in the various config files.

First Login to Oracle 9i Personal SQL Plus after installation

I downloaded the Opacle 9i for Windows NT/2000/XP,3 ZIP
fiels andI extracted them into 3 special folders disk1,
disk2 and disk3 according the instructions.Also I
installed the JRE which is required for that.After the
installation of Oracle 9,when I wanted to use the SQL Plus
I could not do it because I had no the first login User
Name and Password.
For example,in Oracle 7 Personal for Windows 95 and in
Oracle 8i Personal for Windows 98,the first login User
Name is "scott" and the Password is "tiger".
I shall be great thankfull to you if you will let me know
how to perform the first login to the SQL Plus of Oracle
9i (User Name and Password).
With Great Respect
Menahem Sharon

in oracle9i all default users account are lock by default. so if you want to connect
first when you open sqlplus in user name type "/nolog"
sqlplus will open with no connection then issue the command.
conn / as sysdba
alter user scott account unlock;
conn scott/tiger
that is the procedure

Can't connect to 11g XE after installation

Hi,
I recently installed Oracle database 11g XE onto my home computer running Windows 32 bit, but I can't connect to the database. I also have Oracle 10g R2 installed on my computer, and I can still connect to it finely. When trying to make a connection in SQL DEVELOPER, I get this error
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
I tried to tnsping the XE database and it returns successfully.

ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor 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.

Can't connect to VPN anymore after installation of visual studio 2012

I found that a similar question was asked, albeit for the previous version of Windows and visual studio
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itpronetworking/thread/335e9de5-f183-4d03-a441-95bc151dc7d0
it took me few days to resolve an issue, so decided to share here.
as a headline goes the story was: I installed Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 8 and after installation an L2TP vpn connection gave error 789
the solution I found with my internet provider was to change in registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rasman\Parameters]
"ProhibitIpSec"=dword:00000001
it looks though that this issue should be fixed, while my solution works it is hardly useful hint for most
affected ( if only they find a solution by search ).

Hi,
Thanks for sharing. We really appreciate your time and efforts. Hope your experience will help other community members facing similar problems.

Can not connect to itunes server after installation

I just got a laptop with Windows 8 and I am trying to install I-Tunes 11 to the new laptop. It installs ok, but after you open I-tunes it does nothing... Will not connect to Itunes Store, search for music, check for updates. I keep getting a cannot connect to itunes server check internet connection. Internet connection is fine because I am posting the question from the latop.

I am having the same Issues.

XE: Cant connect to sql*plus, APEX seems to function

Hi! I am a beginner in oracle.
I installed oracle XE 10g, both the server and the client on mandriva linux, using the supplied RPM's. After that I ran /etc/init.d/xe/configure and accepted the default values. Then I performed the post-installation steps as mentioned in APEX insstallation guide (sourcing the shell scripts).
In the APEX interface I can see the database, its staistics and I created a user. But when I try to connect using sql*plus, the connection is refused:
SQL> conn sys as sysdba
Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
Judging from the output of commands below, there is something missing. Any ideas?

The messages tell me that you do not have the ORACLE_HOME variable set correctly. This has been discussed umpteen times, but since search is beyond the call of duty, I'll copy/paste one of my recent responses
In Linux and Unix Oracle REQUIRES that variables ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID be set properly. And *nix REQUIRES that an executable be in the PATH or explicitly referenced. The easiest way of setting those consistently and correctly is to source the oraenv routine which is placed in /usr/local/bin by the installer. To use that, and assuming you are using Linux,
1) Find out the ORACLE_SID for your reference
tail /etc/oratab
and note the last line. The first field will be the SID.
2) Source oraenv
. oraenv
[ oracle ]?: enter the SID here
and if you want to put this into a script, enter something like
ORAENV_ASK=NO
ORACLE_SID={enter your SID ehere}
. oraenv
ORAENV_ASK=
Many people will suggest you set these variables in your profile. In the long term that is a bad idea (and DBAs should always be thinking in the long term) since most DBAs end up with a second database, ORACLE_HOME, upgrade or product and oraenv ensures that there will be no conflicts.

How to connect from sql*plus to Sql Server

Dear Profs.
How I can connect from sql*plus v8 on my local pc(Win XP) to Sql Server Express 2005 light weight installed in same local pc ?
Thanks,
Ahmed.

You'll need to setup heterogeneous services. This is done by creating an init file for the SQL Server db with %ORACLE_HOME%\hs\admin that refers to a DSN for the Sql Server Database. The listener would also need an entry for the SQL Server DB DSN. After that you would create a dblink to SQL Server in your Oracle instance and then could query across the dblink.

Connecting to SQL*PLUS

Good afternoon. I have a strange issue when I try to connect to SQL*PLUS, Designer and Discoverer too, with an id other than SYSTEM or SYS. I have 10G database installed on my local PC, with the 10G client, Developer Suite with Discoverer and Designer. I connected in the command window with SYS to create the Designer repository and everything worked fine. I can CONNECT to SQL*PLUS to my local db with the SYSTEM id, but not with my own id. I can't connect to Designer repository with the REPOS_MANAGER id either. It looks as if it is trying to connect, but I get an hour glass and a NOT RESPONDING in the Windows task list. I have checked the id's by logging on to SQL*PLUS with SYSTEM id, and they are set up correctly. Any thoughts or suggestions? I can connect to my local database through GUI tools like TOAD or SQL*Tools using my own id. I would greatly appreciate any ideas you might have. Thanks. DLD

Hi D Moran,
You don't mention the platform and/or Oracle versions you work with, but generally speaking, did you check:
- the tns service (windows) is started?
- did you wait for a moment after the database service started, so that it had the time to "announce itself" to the tns service?
- do you have only one tnsnames.ora file? if more then one: did you select the corresponding oracle home?
etc...
Maybe some of these checks help!
Regards,
Sabine

NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - ProductionOS is AIX 5.3 for Oracle 10 and AIX 6.1 for Oracle 11.
We are currently in the process of migrating some applications from Oracle 10 to 11. Our admins have setup a new development system for us with an Oracle 11 instance. Regarding performance the new system behaves more or less the same than our old, e.g. when executing SQLs we notice hardly any performance differences and those we find are slightly in favour of the new system.
But now we discovered that the time it takes to establish a database connection via SQL*Plus is longer on the Oracle 11 system. Running the following code
sqlplus -s user/pw@database <<END
quit
ENDa thousand times takes ~60s under Oracle 10 but ~140s under Oracle 11. This may not seem much but we are running a test framework consisting of a bunch of shell scripts where several thousand connections are openend via SQL*Plus to execute some SQLs, so that even this small time difference results in rather huge difference in total runtime. The SQLs themself require roughly the same time in both databases, as already mentioned above they are in fact slightly faster in Oracle 11.
To analyze the time difference I ran a trace for the connect with the following parameters in sqlnet.ora
TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT=4
TRACE_UNIQUE_CLIENT=ONand found out that there is a time difference of about 70ms during the connect handshake:

(1) [22-MAR-2013 13:33:40:618] nscon: got NSPTRS packetAny ideas what could be the reason for this time difference? Something in our network configuration or something else?

With local connections - I do not think a TCP packet send from an IP to the same IP, leaves the interface as an actual wire protocol/signal. If I'm correct, then running local connection tests will be mostly useless in checking the actual network infrastructure.
Tests 3 and 4 should be showing the same connection times as the same physical network infrastructure is used - only the direction is reversed in the tests.
I would assume that port settings on the switches and interface settings on the routers treat packets equally in both directions between 2 servers. But this could in part explain the problem if this is not the case. In a case of a router for example, the 1st test's ingress interface is the egress interface of the 2nd test (and vice versa). Configurations can differ substantially between interfaces on the same router. Likewise if there is a firewall - as different rule sets are applied in each test and these rule sets could differ.
So I would not be too quick to state that this is definitely not a network problem. But I agree that based on the small percentage difference (assuming comparable tests), it does not look like a network issue.
The next step is to determine what the delay is between the listener accepting the client connection, and the connection being serviced by a dedicated server process.
This will require listener tracing - tracing the time from when the listener accepted the connection (and parsed the TNS connection string), to handing off the connection to the dedicated server process.
As a comparison test, you can also test shared server connections. Dispatcher processes (of the db instance) register themselves with the listener. The shared server client hand off is thus done to an existing server process - no need for the Listener to make a kernel call to load and initialise an executable image.
Shared connections are typically faster than dedicated connections in this respect.
If there is a major time difference, then it means some kind of issue with the listener dealing with dedicated servers as oppose to dispatcher hand off's. As both connections would have had very similar network transit time - which means the connection time difference is related directly to dealing with a dedicated server connection request and hand off.
You can also substitute the oracle executable with a wrapper - and troubleshoot the actual dedicated server startup. I've only done this with Oracle XE 10.2 though and with local IPC connections. Unsure how robust this will be for testing purposes via TCP using 11g.

Segmentation Fault when connecting to SQL*Plus from Applications tier

Hi Everyone -
I am currently in the process of upgrading a client from 11.5.10.2 to 12.1.1 (eventually 12.1.3) on a OEL x86-64 server. I have laid down the software stack and followed all of the requirements as per the Installation manuals and 761566.1. I also have an open SR right now on this issue - but I wanted to see if any of you have ever run into the issue that I am encountering.
When I try to run adadmin/adpatch - I get to the prompt of providing the system user password and the utility simply exits. No errors in adpatch.log or adadmin.log (both are 0 bytes in size).
When I try to connect using SQL*Plus from the applications tier using either:
sqlplus apps/****@SID
sqlplus system/****@SID
I get a Segmentation Fault error. There are also no errors in my alert log file on the database tier. I found this error while attempting to apply the upgrade merge patch.
Has anyone ever seen s Segmentation Fault error? I have search MOS, found a couple of potential solutions - but nothing has solved the issue so far.
Thanks in advance...
Brenna

Are you on 11.1.0.5.0? Is this the database version?
No, my database tier is 11.2.0.3 (the database version displayed above was the client version running on the Application Tier.
Who is the owner of the application tier files? If it is applmgr user, please make sure you login as that user and source the application env file before running sqlplus -- Please issue "echo $ORACLE_HOME" and "which sqlplus" and post the output here.
My owner of the application tier is oracle. I have sourced the environment using $APPL_TOP/APPSR12Dev1_******.env

Can't connect to SQL Server 2000 from serlet

Hi,
I can connect to SQL Server 2000 from standalone program after set the classpath properly.
but I Can't connect to SQL Server 2000 from serlet, I am using Tomcat 4.1 and Win2K pro now. Do I need to set something for servlet just like CLASSPATH?
Any help will be appreciated.
package usingjsp;
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
public class JDBCServlet extends GenericServlet
protected Connection conn;
public void init()
try
// Make sure the JdbcOdbcDriver class is loaded
Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
// Try to connect to a database via ODBC
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://hu:1433", "sa","");
catch (Exception exc)
// If there's an error, use the servlet logging API
getServletContext().log(
"Error making JDBC connection: ", exc);
public void service(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response)
throws java.io.IOException
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<HTML>");
out.println("<BODY>");
out.println("<PRE>");
out.println("The JDBC connection is:");
out.println(conn);
out.println("</PRE>");
out.println("</BODY>");
out.println("</HTML>");

i also have this problem..do u have any solution?

How can I connect to SQL Server CE?

Hi!
How can I connect to SQL Server CE ?
Any idea?
I found jdbc driver for SQL Server 6.5,7.0,2000.
But no driver for SQL CE.
Thanks for any suggestion....

I am also searching for same answer.
I wanna choose Access as a db. but I can't find that so I have a no choice to select SQL2000CE though.
I am stuck in driver problem. I can't find that.
Should I use Oracle Lite or PointBase?
I am under a lot of stress... like you've been...
I wish you find and post that....

Error when connecting to SQL*PLUS via ODBC to Excel

OS: Windows 2000 Professional
Oracle DB: 9i release 2
SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.1.0
MS Excel: 2000
===================
When I try to connect to SQL*PLUS via ODBC to Excel with "connect scott/tiger@odbc:libro" I get the following error:
ORA-03121: no interface driver connected - function not performed

SQL Server objects are commonly case sensitive, so please surround the column and table names by double quotes:
SELECT "Type_PK_ID" FROM "dbo"."boundaries"@sqlserver
SIDE NOTE: Oracle is by default not case sensitive and all object names are stored in upper case. To get case sensitive objects they need to be surrounded by double quotes. In HSODBC case sensitive table names were commonly found even when not surrounded by double quotes as the gateway used internal SQL Server methods to find the correct table nameing - this method does not work for column names. So to be able to query a case sensitive column it needs to be surrounded by double quotes and the table name must be written as stored in the source database.

TNSPING failure and but surprising connecting through SQL*PLUS

I have Oracle 9i and Oracle 10g express edition installed on my local machine.But since in the path i specified path of Oracle10g first so always tnsnames.ora got picked up from Oracl10g directory which is
C:\softwares\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
Following are the contents of my sqlnet.ora :--->
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)
Following are the contents of my tnsnames.ora:-->
CCTD91 =(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = cctdev91.jankoc.com)(PORT = 1521)))(CONNECT_DATA =(SERVICE_NAME = CCTD91)))
Now when i am doing tnsping to this i got the error as:
C:\>tnsping cctd91
TNS Ping Utility for 32-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on 23-APR-2011 16:08:52

Used parameter files:
C:\softwares\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
TNS-03505: Failed to resolve name
But when i connect through Oracle 9i client(SQL*Plus) like peter/devworks@CCTD91, then i am able to connect successfully to Oracle 11g.
Could someone let me know why TNSPING is failing for this and then still why i am able to connect thru SQL*PLUS using the name defined in TNSNAMES.ORA. ?

sqlnet.ora is having just one line:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)
I tried by adding another line: NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH=(TNSNAMES) but did not make any difference so i removed.
