Designer6i - can't connect database TNS:no such protocol adapter

Cannot connect to database with Repository Administration Utility.
I have installed Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 2 on my WindowsNT in one oracle_home (ora8i) and Designer 6i in the same machine in another oracle_home (orades which is DEFAULT_HOME).
Installation is successful. I have set up the tnsnames.ora file in the directory d:\orades\net80\admin. I have also set the registry variables \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\TNS_ADMIN
and
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\Home1\TNS_ADMIN
to d:\orades\net80\admin as per Installation Guide.
From ora8i->DatabaseAdministration->DBA Studio I can connect to the database using the service string in the above tnsnames.ora file.
But it fails from OracleRepository6i-> RepositoryAdministrationUtility with an error of ORA-12222: TNS:no such protocol.
The TCP network protocol is installed for Designer6i as the folder "tnsapi" exists in orades\net80.
Can anyone please point out what is wrong and help? thanks

Hi PAUL,
I think you first install designer and then Oracle.

Database link : TNS-12538: TNS:no such protocol adapter

I have created a database link on schema1:
CREATE public DATABASE LINK db_link
CONNECT TO schema2 IDENTIFIED BY schema2
USING 'schema2' (service name);
While I am testing this link to access the object of schema 2 on schema1
i am getting error:TNS-12538: TNS:no such protocol adapter
In tnsnames.ora file of schema1,i have also included the details for schema2.
Please tell me the solution of this problem
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Can you ping the schema2 which is another DB or can you connect to schema2 DB with the service which you have used for DB link.
Check that first functioning correct or not.
Check this link.

Hi Rajesh Vig
Thank for your help.
I did change follow your advice. But it doesn't work at all.
However, before finishing configured listener, something warn me as popup message.
"The information provided for this listener is currently in use by other software on this computer.
You can proceed with the configuration as it is, but it will not be possible to start this listener until
the conflict is resolved."
I'm so doubt, what wrong with my listener. Why did oracle warn me that my listener was conflict with another. Although, there was no listener.ora at that time. ?????
Here is my new listener.ora created by netca.

"ORA-12222 TNS no such protocol adapter" When running Forms after installing Portal

We have a Forms 6i (web) application running on 9iAS. This worked fine. But after installing Portal on the same 9iAS, we got the following error when starting the WebForms application:
ORA-12222 TNS no such protocol adapter
Who knows a solution?

This is s SQLNET error.
You can search for it on OTN using the search button.
IT usually means that the tnsnames.ora file was changed. Or that you are now using another tnsnames.ora.

Would probably have to see your listener.ora to know for sure but two things I would look for: AFAIK you can use either tcp or udp for the PROTOCOL= statement in the listener.ora, the Oracle Listener listens on port 1521 so you should add port 1521 to your SERVICES file in the /etc directory. See if either of those help any..

ORA-12222: TNS:no such protocol adapter

This is not a repository problem, but it happened when I tried to install the repos.
I get this message whenever I try to connect to the database using sqlplus from the orecle_home where I installed the repository or the repos. admin-utility.
I have tried both to use TNS_ADMIN and not, but the error is the same in both cases.
When I use Net8 assistant to make a tns and test the connection it works fine.
I can connect to the database with sqlplus from my 817-oracle_home.
I just tried to install the protocol-adapters manually, but it doesn't help.
Does anybody know what to do?
Arne.

Dear OTN,
I've got the same problem!
After I upgraded Designer 6i Rel2 to 6i Rel3
SQL Plus 8.0 returns ORA-12222 Error, "The protocol adapter requested (by way of the "(PROTOCOL=..)"
keyword-value pair in a TNS address) is unknown. If the supplied address
is typographically correct then the protocol adaptor is not installed.
Action: Install the protocol adapter or correct typographically error,
as appropriate. Note: if the supplied address was derived from
resolving the service name, check the address in the appropriate file
(TNSNAMES.ORA, LISTENER.ORA or TNSNET.ORA)."
I'm not novice and checked quite a few times all required files and also tried NET EASY CONFIG and so on. It doesn't work.
Please, help me with the settings! It should be beneficial to all!

*URGENT* Forms 6i on XP - "no such protocol adapter" problem

Hello,
I seem to have run into a common problem but mine has a twist.
I have a laptop with Windows XP that I have installed Oracle 8.1.7.3.0 on. That works fine.
I have a project that has me connected to Oracle O.com network. I can connect fine to that using my initial Oracle installation.
I needed to install Oracle 6i and ran into a few problems, but found recommended work arounds which included me installing it in a seperate directory as Windows 95 or windows 98. I installed it in C:/oracle/developer. I can open existing forms to work on them.
What I can't do is connect to my O.com connection using the Developer or the Sqlplus 8.0 version that is included with it.
Per this website http://metalink.oracle.com/oracleinstall/oracle8i/windows.html#MSfive
I have run through the net80 configuration process.
I have copied my working tnsnames.ora file to all possible locations that the developer version would pick up (including of course c:\oracle\developer\net80\admin).
I have changed the required sqlnet.ora file to sqlnet.old.
I rebooted.
The listener and database start on their own, so I don't have to start them from the dos prompt.
Any attempt to connect to the O.com or my local database using the Developer sqlplus or Developer itself results in the message - "ERROR: ORA-12222: TNS:no such protocol adapter".
If I try to connect to some made up database name, I get a "could not resolve service name" message. So I can tell that it least recognizes my database names defined in the tnsname.ora file.
If anyone has installed Forms 6i on XP and ran into similar problems and fixed them, or if anyone has any clue as to what I need to do to fix this, I'll be immensely grateful.
Thanks.
Kurt

It occurs to me that perhaps I need to install a second version of the listener, specifically for my forms environment. Is this the case?

Can I connect an iPad in such a manner to a Windows based PC so that all that I write on the iPad, is immediately displayed on the Windows PC and on a screen by using a data projector?

In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

TNS: no such protocol, TNS: no listener

Hi OTn,
Where can I use the port no. 9000 and Sockets as protocol, in the form server setup?
I am no able to the provision for typing the above said. What mistake, I have made!?
And when I use the Start >Net8 Easy Config, for testing the connection, I used to get repeated errors like,
TNS: no listener
TNS: no such protocol adaptor
TNS: could not resolve the servise name
What is the remedy for this?
Pls help.
Thank you,

Start the database listener on your database server: lsnrctl start.

Patch6: paradox-ORA 12222 TNS : no such protocol adopter

getting a ORA 12222 TNS : no such protocol adopter found
after installing patch 6 over existing oracle 9i AS 1.0.2.0.0
and forms 6i and reports 6i server,when we are running the test form with all the settings required for running forms as servlets tesst forms is coming successfully.But when with the same parameter we are running our form which makes databse connection gives the above ORA error 12222.
to ensure that it is not a protocol adapter problem we remove one line
;serverURL= ---- this line is commented-----
serverURL=/servlet/oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet
and put instead
serverURL=
;serverURL=/servlet/oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet ---this line is commented ----
After replacing again we tried to run the test.fmx as well as our form.Both were running successfully.
Since this one line change made Listener Servlet inactive and forms listerner as active component.
looking at the above situation we came to conclusion that it should not be a TNS protocol adaptor probel. so there must be either some problem with the configuration or some probelem with the patch 6 itself.
(we would like to mention that earlier we did same thing with patch 5 and getting error FRM-92100.This error was resolved when we used patch 6 with one additional line
in formsweb.cfg
as "networkRetries=30" )
we are using windows 2000
null

A few more facts..
while installing we had done a custom install for patch 6 .Druing this a error came up as
a wrtie error while trying to copy NLSRTL33.DLL while installing server patch component during custom install.
does anyone out there know .. what this DLL is for.

Lightning to 30-pin adapter and Lightning to 30-pin adapter (0.2m) do not work if connected together by other third-party accessories.
