Error msg ORA-12203

I installed a windows nt version on windows 95 and cannot log in. I am getting the error ORA-12203 TNSnames. Help anyone?
thanks

Hi,
If you are using Sqlplus on the same machine in which you have the DB, you can run it in two ways :
- Specifying only username and password : in this case you have to set ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variables. ORACLE_HOME should be already defined in the registry, so you should have to set only ORACLE_SID = <your SID>
- Specifying username,password and connection string : here you have to configure an alias in the TNSNAMES.ora file to point to your DB : you can do this using NET MANAGER or NET EASY CONFIGURATION (I don't use often Windows systems, so I don't remember exactly....)
If you are using a Client, the second way is needed.
Then you have to check that the listener is running on the Server. Check the listener service, it has to be active. If so, from a DOS Window try :
LSNRCTL stop
LSNRCTL start
This stop and restart the listene

    As there are several fixes to this issue, one unique place to look for is the iptables/firewall in Redhat server. Even though EBS applications worked fine until the reboot, we looked at the iptables that was disabled using ‘service iptables stop’ but was never turned off in rc. Nonetheless, this forced the iptables to be enabled during startup and blocked the tns port.
    running ‘service iptables off’ helped to fix the issue.
    Also, you can confirm if this is the case by simply running telnet dbserver port number . If it doesn’t connect, above fix is valid.

    ORA-12203:
         TNS:unable to connect to destination
    Cause:      Invalid address specified or destination is not listening. This error can also occur because of underlying network or network transport problems.
    Action:      Verify that the net service name you entered was correct. Verify that the ADDRESS portion of the connect descriptor which corresponds to the net service name is correct. Ensure that the destination process (for example the listener) is running at the remote node.

    Hi,
    I had problem accessing my DB (running on AIX-based) from SQL plus. An error code ORA-12505 is given. I had no problem to start up and shutdown the database. Anyone can advise?
    By the way, what is ORA12505 means? How to resolve this error msg. Anywhere I can get full list of Oracle error message?
    Thanks a lot!

    dear friends..
    it 's been for long time that i have been popped up with the iterating statement at the login time "ORA-12203: TNS:unable to connect to destination " .i slept over the issue and what i have found is that sometime we are not aware that at the time if process is started or not or whether it is started automatically or automatic.i would suggest you to make it "automatic" and prior to that make it sure if the process is already started or not.
    i hope by doing this method it might help you to come out from the problem.
    thanks ..

    You can either leave the host string blank, or use ORCL.

    Hi I installed oracleDEV 10g at my home desktop while I can't connect to company's oracle server, the user name and pswd are corrected set up while I got the error message ORA 12154 again and again, anybody can give me a help will be highly appreciated!
    you can tell me the solution to [email protected]
    Thanks

    Hi
    Check the tnsnames.ora file you are using, verify that it is accessible. Check if you have a $HOME/.tnsnames.ora file - This will be used in addition to 'tnsnames.ora'. Check TNS_ADMIN is set in your environment. - There is a readable tnsnames.ora file in $TNS_ADMIN

  • Oracle8 Error Message ora-12203 TNS unable to connect to destination

    I am receiving error message 12203 TNS unable to connect to
    destination when trying to connect to the database. Also notice
    Oracle TNSListener80 isn't starting properly. I start the
    service and close services and open up again and the service is
    not running. Any idea's would be greatly appreciated.

    Please try to start the listener via dosbox:
    lsnrctl80 start
    Maybe you have to set environment variables before that:
    set ORACLE_HOME =
    set ORACLE_SID =
    If the listener start correct then try from client:
    tnsping <alias>
    -> ok ?
    sqlplus name/password@alias
    -> ok ?
    If not ok, please check first if you set the hostname correctly
    in listener.ora and tnsnames.ora.

  • Stored procedure - insert clob obj - error msg: ORA-01460: unimplemented

    Hi all,
    I have a situation where I want to insert a clob object to my local table via a stored procedure. The clob object stores large amount of text. The clob data is populated from retrieving content in an external text file. When executing an insert statement in c# code, the information was inserted successfully. when executing the stored procedure to insert the information, i always get "ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested". I use ReadToEnd() from StreamReader class to retrieve the context of the external text file. Does anyone know why Oracle behaves this way? Thanks for helping in advance.
    TABLE DEFINITION FOR CLOB_TEST

    It's possible it doesn't like the name of your variables (being the same as the table), it's good practice to not do that.
    Much better would be.
    procedure InsertTempReleaseTable
       p_name in varchar2,
       p_description in clob,
       p_fam_id number
    is
    begin
       insert into clob_test
          (name, description, fam_id)
       values
          (p_name, p_description, p_fam_id);
    end InsertTempReleaseTable;Your Oracle version is typically of immense help.
    select * from v$version;Also, using the tags will keep the formatting of your code.
    If this isn't any help, can you post a working example of your example ? Where the code breaks (which call).

  • 8iLite,SQL*PLUS Won't start, ORA-12203

    I d/l'd 8iLite and I am running on WIN95. In the log on dialog box for SQL*PLUS, I typed username = scott and password = tiger and got the error message: ORC-12203:TNS: unable to connect to destination. (This indicates that the username and password are acceptable.)
    Earlier, I was in Oracle Navigator and tried to set myself up as a new user. From the file menu, I selected Createdb.exe and I go the error message: C:\orawin95\BIN\Createdb.exe has a bad format. I also selected crdb35.exe from the file menu and got the error mesage: c:\orawin95\BIN\crdb35.exe has a bad format.
    In each case, I clicked OK to close the dialog box and attempted to enter the new user properties anyway; in each case I got the error message ORA-12203:TNS:unable to connect to destination.
    I am wondering whether the root cause of the problem is that Createdb.exe and crdb35.exe are corrupted, and is so, what to do about it. My main goal is to get SQL*PLUS running on the sample (POLITE) database.
    ANY help would be greatly appreciated. If someone would email me good copies of Createdb.exe and crdb35.exe, I'll try that.

    Cause:     Invalid TNS address supplied or destination is not listening. This error can also occur because of underlying network transport problems.
    Action:     Verify that the service name you entered on the command line was correct. Ensure that the listener is running at the remote node and that the ADDRESS parameters specified in TNSNAMES.ORA are correct. Finally, check that all Interchanges needed to make the connection are up and running.

  • ORA-12203 error in Forms6i, after installing 10g local DB

    Hello,
    I have a configuration with multiples Oracle_Homes as I use Disco R4, Forms6i, Forms 10g, and sqlplus. I had no problem when I used a local 9i DB. All worked fine.
    When I had the 9i DB, I decided to set a TNS_ADMIN variable and only use one version of SQLNET.ORA and TNSNAMES.ORA. All was fine !
    Recently, I have decided to install a brand new 10gR2 DB, and get rid off my 9i DB.
    Since then, only the 10g tools work fine... and I cannot connect anymore to any of my Forms6i or Disco. BIG Problem !!!
    The error is always the same : ORA-12203: TNS:unable to connect to destinationI have made many different tries for fixing this issue...but I have no clue, and I would like some advices from you.
    Here are the details of the variables and files (after all my modifications):
    - My 10DB is located under OracleHome DB10g_OH (c:\10g\DB)
    - My Forms6i is located under OracleHome DEFAULT_HOME (c:\oraNT)
    - I created environment variables
    ORACLE_SID=SCFOXD
    TWO_TASK=SCFOXD
    and
    PATH= C:\10g\DB\bin;C:\orant\bin; ....
    I currently put the same version of listener.ora, sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora in both directories (C:\orant\NET80\ADMIN and C:\10g\DB\NETWORK\ADMIN):
    - sqlnet.ora:
    SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION = 9
    SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
    TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT = ADMIN
    TRACE_UNIQUE_CLIENT = on
    NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (HOSTNAME, EZCONNECT, TNSNAMES)
    TRACE_LEVEL_SERVER = ADMIN

    TRACE_DIRECTORY_SERVER = C:\orant\net80\admin
    USE_DEDICATED_SERVER = on

    (CONNECT_DATA =

    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (GLOBAL_NAME = SCFOXD)
    (HS = OK)
    - listener.ora (defined with the 10g Net Manager)
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
    (SID_LIST =

    (SID_NAME = SCFOXD)
    LISTENER =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    Using the Dos command window, I stopped and started the listener (lsnrctl stop/start and its current status is (in french!!):

    L'instance "SCFOXD", statut UNKNOWN, comporte 1 gestionnaire(s) pour ce service...
    La commande a réussi
    Looking at the listerner status, all seems fine, except the status UNKNOWN of the DB... I have no idea why it is that, as I can successfully connect it using the 10g tools (sqlplus/forms10g)
    To go further, I can reproduce the same error (like with Forms6i) when I use the DOS command window, when I run plus80.
    Anyway, I am sure there is something I missed to do... but, I am really stuck, and I would like to get some advices in order to solve my issue.
    Thanks,
    Olivier

    Thanks for your quick reply.
    1) forms 6i version is = 6.0.8.23.2
    2) in the DOS box, here is what I get :
    I set ORACLE_SID=SCFOXD
    a) lsnrctl status : all seems ok.
    b) tnsping SCFOXD : seems ok.
    c) tnsping80 SCFOXD : brings this error:

    I really feel bad about my current configuration. I don't understand at all...
    Any other suggestion?
