Question

Hi All,
I am setting up data guard using oracle grid.
Primary database version: - 10.2.0.4
Standby database version: - 10.2.0.4
Primary OS Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 8)2.6.9
Standby OS Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 8)2.6.9
I am creating physical standby database using EM. But it is getting failed with error message in sqlnet.ora file
Fatal NI connect error 12533, connecting to:
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=)(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=INPRDSB_XPT)(SERVER=dedicated)(CID=(PROGRAM=oracle)(HOST=indb50.oii.com)(USER=oracle))))
  VERSION INFORMATION:
        TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
        TCP/IP NT Protocol Adapter for Linux: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
  Time: 17-AUG-2010 02:40:07
  Tracing not turned on.
  Tns error struct:
    ns main err code: 12533
    TNS-12533: TNS:illegal ADDRESS parameters
    ns secondary err code: 0
    nt main err code: 0
    nt secondary err code: 0As we can see, address_list is empty.
Can anyone suggest what could be the reason behind this?

Dear user13295317,
Here is the error explanation;
Oracle Error :: TNS-12533
TNS:illegal ADDRESS parameters
Cause
An illegal set of protocol adapter parameters was specified.
In some cases, this error is returned when a connection cannot be made to the protocol transport.
Action
Verify that the destination can be reached using the specified protocol.
Check the parameters within the ADDRESS section of TNSNAMES.ORA.
Legal ADDRESS parameter formats may be found in the Oracle operating system specific documentation for your platform.
Protocols that resolve names at the transport layer (such as DECnet object names) are vulnerable to this error if not properly configured or names are misspelled.Hope That Helps.
