Connect target / getting ORA-12560

Hi,
Can I issue:
RMAN TARGET / in CMD where I have only Oracle software installed in my machine -indeed I saw this in a tutorial in the internet !-.
If so, why could be the problem if I'm getting ORA-12560 error.
Saad,

RMAN TARGET /
The command illustrate that RMAN connecting to a target DB. So is your DB service up which you are trying to connect.

which version of oracle are you using?
If you are using, 8.1.6 , then you would be hitting bug.892253.

Getting ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter on server

Hi,
We have a server on Windows, Oracle version 10.2.0.4.
It was working fine, but all of a sudden we have started getting "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter" when trying to connect as SYS.
What could be the possible reason. Nothing new has been done on the server.
Thanks.

I getting ORA-12560 error, how to rectify this

hai everybody,
I just try to shutdown my DB using shu it took time to stop and then i wait sometime but it will not shutdown so end that session.....
after that i am getting this error..
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
plz anyone help me..

If you're running on windows you need to startup the database <b>"service"</b> before being able to connect to startup. It's advisable you use oradim to perform the startup and shutdown. Using oradim you can start the service and then the instance.

Get ORA-12560 error while accessing 11g database

Database version: 11.2.0.1.0
This is a development database running on CentOS. We had setup this database recently and everything has been fine. Today I noticed that when I connect to the database from remote, I get the following error -
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
I'm able to get in to the database after logging in directly into the database server via putty. I have stopped & restarted the database, but with no help. I have checked the environment variables (ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID) and they seem to be fine.
Can you please help on what might be the problem here? Is this something to do with some change in the OS firewall setting?

Getting ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error when starting Oracle8i SVRMGR

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forums, and I guess you could say "somewhat new" to the Oracle DB. I've played around with it casually in the past, but never got real serious with it :)
Anyhow, I wanted to see if someone could help with this. I found an old thread on a similar issue, but nothing seemed to help at all towards resolution, so I thought I would start a new thread, and maybe get some fresh ideas.
The issue is, I start SVRMGR on Oracle8i, and get the ORA-1260: TNS:protocol adapter error.
Here is my setup:
OS: Win2k Advanced Server
CPU: 2 - 930MHz Intel Xeon's
RAM: 1GB DIMM
DB Version: Oracle8i
No firewalls or any other TCP interference. Ok, so now that's out the way :), here is the issue:
When I start the SVRMGR, I get that error immediately. I have checked my tnsnames.ora file, and found some discrepancies, and have corrected them (at least to my knowledge), restarted all the Windows services running the various databases, and closed/re-opened the SVRMGR, and still get the same thing.
For reference, here is a copy of the tnsnames.ora file:

The ones I commented out were either non-existant databases, or the databases were shutdown, because they are not presently being used.
If someone could help with this, it would be greatly appreciated. :)

You can run the net8 assistant to set up your tnsnames.ora file.

When you are done it should look something like this:

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.

Tarisa.

ORA-12560 HELP!

Hello,
I found my step-son playing around with keys on my laptop and later on in the day, as usual, opened SQL developer and SQL plus to practice what I am learning on CBT nuggets tutorial for fundamentals exam. All of a sudden when i type in Username (hr) and Password i get ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error .
I am currently using Oracle 11g Express edition and when i try running the shortcut 'Get started with Oracle Database 11g Express Edition' it opens a browser window and say Could not connect to 127.0.0.1:8080
After searching on the Oracle forums and other websites, i still cannot find a solution. I was wondering if maybe my step son accidentally blocked something to do with Oracle 11g when prompted by my anti-virus (Kaspersky) but as I was not there I do not know exactly what he did.
SQL developer gives me the follow error "Listener refused the connection with the following error: ORA-12505, TNS: Listener does not currently know of SID (shows Document icon) given in connect descriptor"
Upon running lsnrctl status listener in Windows Command Prompt I get the following:

Any ideas on what it could be? Please i am going nuts here trying to sort it out but I am not sure how to solve this problem and not being able to access my DB means i cannot really study for my ORA Fundamentals exam in March.
Thanks in advance

Here are the results from entering what you asked in windows command prompt:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\Rami>sqlplus / as sysdba shutdown abort startup
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.2.0 Production
Copyright (c) 1982, 2010, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Use SQL*Plus to execute SQL, PL/SQL and SQL*Plus statements.
Usage 1: sqlplus -H | -V
-H Displays the SQL*Plus version and the
usage help.
-V Displays the SQL*Plus version.
Usage 2: sqlplus [ [<option>] [{logon | /nolog}] [<start>] ]
<option> is: [-C <version>] [-L] [-M "<options>"] [-R <level>] [-S]
-C <version> Sets the compatibility of affected commands to the
version specified by <version>. The version has
the form "x.y[.z]". For example, -C 10.2.0
-L Attempts to log on just once, instead of
reprompting on error.
-M "<options>" Sets automatic HTML markup of output. The options
have the form:
HTML ON [HEAD text] [BODY text] [TABLE text]
[ENTMAP {ON|OFF}] [SPOOL {ON|OFF}] [PRE[FORMAT] ON]
-R <level> Sets restricted mode to disable SQL*Plus commands
that interact with the file system. The level can
be 1, 2 or 3. The most restrictive is -R 3 which
disables all user commands interacting with the
file system.
-S Sets silent mode which suppresses the display of
the SQL*Plus banner, prompts, and echoing of
commands.
<logon> is: {<username>[<password>][@<connect_identifier>] | / }
[AS {SYSDBA | SYSOPER | SYSASM}] [EDITION=value]
Specifies the database account username, password and connect
identifier for the database connection. Without a connect
identifier, SQL*Plus connects to the default database.
The AS SYSDBA, AS SYSOPER and AS SYSASM options are database
administration privileges.
<connect_identifier> can be in the form of Net Service Name
or Easy Connect.
@[<net_service_name> | [/]Host[:Port]/<service_name>]
<net_service_name> is a simple name for a service that resolves
to a connect descriptor.
Example: Connect to database using Net Service Name and the
database net service name is ORCL.
sqlplus myusername/mypassword@ORCL
Host specifies the host name or IP address of the database
server computer.
Port specifies the listening port on the database server.
<service_name> specifies the service name of the database you
want to access.
Example: Connect to database using Easy Connect and the
Service name is ORCL.
sqlplus myusername/mypassword@Host/ORCL
The /NOLOG option starts SQL*Plus without connecting to a
database.
The EDITION specifies the value for Session Edition.
<start> is: @<URL>|<filename>[.<ext>] [<parameter> ...]
Runs the specified SQL*Plus script from a web server (URL) or the
local file system (filename.ext) with specified parameters that
will be assigned to substitution variables in the script.
When SQL*Plus starts, and after CONNECT commands, the site profile
(e.g. $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/glogin.sql) and the user profile
(e.g. login.sql in the working directory) are run. The files may
contain SQL*Plus commands.
Refer to the SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference for more information.

If you have backup and you dropped database then you can create it again.
1) Create directories for background,user,audit dumpdest and control,online log,datafiles.
2) Create OracleServiceComp if that is not exists using ORADIM utility(oradim -new -sid COMP -intpwd <syspass> -pfile <pfile location>)
3) After starting oracle service
set ORACLE_SID=COMP
rman target /
/*if you do not have spfile also then you have to restore it from
full/auto backup or startup database using pfile(create it manually)*/
startup nomount ;
restore controlfile from 'full or autobackup location';
alter database mount;
catalog start with 'backup location';
restore database;
recover database;
alter database open resetlogs;

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error after patch 9.2.0.7 on Windows2K

I just install the patch 9.2.0.7 for client Oracle machine on windows 2000 server.
Since then I'm constantly getting "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error" and I cannot connect via SQL plus.
Any help is appreciated, mj

I'm trying to connect to databases that are running on a separate machines - aix5.2, and I can connect from every other machine in the office but not from this one.
There's no database on this machine - only Oracle client tools installed with 9.2.0.1 and then updated to 9.2.0.7. Before the update the sqlplus was working just fine. After the patch run, I'm not able to connect viw sqlplus.
There were no errors when running the patch.
Thanks a lot,mj

ORA-12560 error in VS2010

I'm getting "ORA-12560 TNS:protocol adapter error" when trying to Add Connection in VS2010 (Server Explorer > Add Connection > Username: hr, Password: hr, Data source name: Local Database). This is sample HR database in Oracle XE 10g.
I'm guessing this could be something related to installation? My installation was like this: Oracle XE 10g which I've been using for couple of weeks. I then installed VS2010 Ultimate x86 followed by ODT with ODAC 11.2. This is on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I've noticed that ODT is installed in D:\app, while XE is in D:\oraclexe.
I can access my database through APEX interface. Running 'sqlplus' in command line issues same ORA-12560 error. Running 'Run SQL Command Line' from Start > Oracle XE 10g works. This obviously points to wrong configuration / installation, but how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

This obviously points to wrong configuration / installation, but how to fix it? That depends on the type of client connection initiated - local IPC connection (also called a bequeath connection) or a network (TCP) connection.
For a local IPC connection to work, the client driver needs to know the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID of the local database instance - this is usually set via the environment.
For a TCP connection to work, you need an Oracle Listener running on the Oracle server, the local Oracle database instance to have registered itself with the Listener, and for the client being able to connect to the Listener via TCP.
Oracle Listener is a service on Windows - but the command line program is called lsnrctl and via it one can start/stop the listener and determine its status and registered services. With the Listener running, the local database should automatically register itself with the Listener, unless one manually changed database or Listener parameters.
For TCP connectivity, the usual applies - firewalls must not block TCP access, the client needs to resolve the server hostname into an IP (if hostnames are used), that server IP must be reachable, etc.
