Getting ORA-1260 TNS:

Help, I need your help,
I dwnld cpy of Oracle8i to Windows/NT
loaded w/ Universal Installer
tried to log on w/ LogonID: Scott Psswd:Tiger
But got ORA-12560 TNS:protocol adapter error
To see more information, send responses
thks

Hi, I am having the same problem. When I left the host string blank, I got the same message as you. When I entered the global domain name that i set up during installation in the host string field, i received the 'ora-12154:TNS:could not resolve service name' message. I'm sure there is a real simply explanation. Did you ever find out the answer?
please help.
thanks.

  • 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.

  • Hi...Please help...Getting ORA 12154 TNS Listener could not resolve...

    Hi,
    I have just loaded Oracle 10g Rel 2 in Win 2003 Enterprise Edition.
    But when I try to connect to sqlplus, I am getting ORA -12154 : TNS: Listener could not resolve the connect identified specified.
    I have registered the database, the listener and tnsnames have been set correctly.
    I have also set the Oracle Home environment variable.
    Still getting the error.
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    I agree
    ORA-12145: (does not exist in the standard manuals)
    ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
    ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
    ORA-12541: TNS:no listener
    It is pretty easy to fat-finger these 4 message numbers. As a result, when a person has the actual and complete error message and an error number for a different message, it is usually not a bad idea to use the actual message. (Based on transposing only 3 digits compared to typing over 50 characters correctly.)
    In this case the OP has really bollixed things: Subject implies a true 12154, text in the thread is an actual 12514 but mentions 12154.
    As a result, there are several potentially correct answers, depending on the interpretation of the question.
    - sb92075 gave the correct answer based on the number
    - I gave the correct answer based on the message in the thread
    - Anurag and Ed gave the correct answer based on 'the question is not formed correctly'

    You may want to replace ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION keyword with just WALLET_LOCATION in your sqlnet.ora file.
    EWL is used only for TDE but if you want to use external password store, you will have to use WALLET_LOCATION rather than ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION. However if you are going to use both TDE and external password respository, then make sure your sqlnet.ora file has both entries ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION as well as WALLET_LOCATION

  • 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.

  • Suddenly getting "ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve service name"

    Hi all
    A fairly basic post from a newbie here!
    Basically, I connect to several Oracle 9i instances from my PC using Toad and SQLPlus. Yesterday, this was working fine, but today, I am getting "ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve service name" every time I try to hit any oracle instance from either Toad or SQLPlus. I have checked my TNSNAMES.ora file and it looks fine.
    Are there any system variables I should look at? My PATH was changed yesterday, but I have checked and my Oracle 9i bin path is still correctly in my PATH.
    I'm a bit baffled so any help/pointers would be most welcome!
    Many thanks
    Jon

    Since you have changed your PATH, did you change any other Env Variable?
    How many ORACLE_HOME have you got. i.e have you installed any new Oracle Software on the same machine?
    Ensure that that Environment Variables ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN is pointing to the correct directory where your TNSNAMES.ORA is located.

  • Help - Newbie - getting "ORA-12571: TNS: packet writer failure" ERROR

    Hi all,
    Not sure where to post this, so trying for the general forum to start...
    I have also searched and read all the forums for help on this already as well the Oracle documentation and anything I could find from several on-line searches, etc.
    I have Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition and Oracle Forms 6i installed on Win2K. Everything worked fine when it was just Oracle 8i running, ie: connecting to the database in SQLPlus Worksheet, but when I try and connect to the database in the datablock wizard in forms I get the ORA-12571: TNS: packet writer failure error!
    Don't tell me to re-install, I've done that like 6 times already. I've check the tnsnames.ora files and tried that fix already. I don't know what else to try short of fdisk and redoing everything from scratch again, but I don't have time for that as this machine is used daily for other tasks.
    Any help or suggestions are appreciated!!!
    Thx in advance!
    Michelle.
    PS: Note to Oracle support staff if you are listening (pardon the pun). Your one line of help for ORA-12571 in the existing support files is rather similar to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy's info for Earth... After seeing how many people have posted about this problem and how few resources or real answers there are out there, you might want to consider updating the info on this error, because is deserves something more than "mostly harmless"!

    This question probably best belongs on the General database forum.

  • ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed out on other pc

    After installing the XE edition on a server, I can connect fine on the server itsself. But when I try to connect from a client machine, I get ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed out.
    My tnsnames on the client holds this string for the XE db:
    MyDB.10gXE =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = MYSERVER)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
    any ideas???

    Rather than
    MyDB.10gXE =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = MYSERVER)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
    why not go with the bulk standard tnsnames entry as follows:-
    XE =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = MYSERVER)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
    I don't think the qualified MyDB.10gXE name is adding any value and may well confuse things.
    Although setting it for my environment does work

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Of course you found another one. Each .and every Oracle database client home (such as developer, app server) has one.
    Don't just change the port - the tnsnames.ora in the dev home does not point to a database service. It only points to an extproc [external procedure called by a database]. You need to put a database service entry into that file similar to the one in the database home. (Easiest solution - copy the tnsnames.ora from db home ... after you've made a backup)
    And please don't tell me you are using Developer 6i - a simple Google search would verify that the networking is incompatible.

    so i think on the server site everything is correct. How could i establish a connection from the windows client
    to the linux database server. Or is ODBC the wrong method for this?
    Kind regards
    ACID25

    Hi,
    Check the listener log and see if the connection information is logged (in this case with error)
    If logged, then we are reaching the correct listener.
    Then check tnsping VCDB works fine along with sqlplus connection through listener using VCDB as connect string.
    If above both works, then issue can be isolated to ODBC configuration or setup issue.
    In case even if the tnsping / sqlplus is failing to connect with VCDB, then worth taking a client sqlent trace at level 16 and listener trace at level 16 to analyse the issue further.
    Thanks,
    Sathya

  • 9.2.0.1.0 - OEM - XP home - ORA-12541 TNS: no listener

    I have installed 9i (9.2.0.1.0) on Windows XP home edition and can connect to database with SQL Plus but get ORA-12541 TNS: no listener error when I try to connect with OEM. I saw someone else had this problem in Febuary and he sadly got no replies, hopefully someone will be able to help me (us) out.

    I guess you now have answers.
    1. Check if listener is running
    lsnrctl status <listener name>
    2. Check port number and SID used
    3. Check TNSNAMES for correct Port and SID name
    4. Check error details in $HOME/network/log

  • ORA-12516: TNS:listener could not find ... on Windows Server 2003

    We are getting "ORA-12516: TNS:listener could not find available handler" while testing asp.net web application.
    We have following configuration:
    - A 10g database server on Windows Server 2000
    - A Web Server running IIS6 on Windows Server 2003
    - ODP.Net for 10g client installed on Web Server
    we are testing our web app with 75 concurrent users, as far as I can tell we are closing connections in our app and open connection only while retrieving and saving records.
    I saw this error very first time when we upgraded our web server to use 10g client. Before that we were using Oracle 9 client and have tested this app with 100 concurrent users without any error.
    Does anyone can help or point a resource that can help to resolve this error?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You'll likely want to take that up with the networking folks as the error seems to be coming from the Listener.
    How many connections does each instance of your app make? If you make the same number of connections via sqlplus for example rather than ODP, do you see the same results? I know creating 60 or sqlplus sessions may not be fun, but it will help determine if this issue is truly somehow related to ODP. It doesnt seem likely it would be, and if ODP can be removed from the picture, it will be that much easier to troubleshoot.
    One thing I'd suggest though, is to make sure your app is cleaning up after itself properly to as to use resources efficiently. If you have access to My Oracle Support, see the following note:
    Note 730678.1 Oracle Data Provider for .Net Best Practices
    Hope it helps,

  • ORA-12519, TNS:no appropriate service handler found on OdiSqlUnload

    Hi all,
    I'm using OdiSqlUnload in a target code of a procedure, where the output of the source code is the parameter.I'm using the source connection as parameters to the target connections:
    OdiSqlUnload "-FILE=#filename"   "-DRIVER=<%=odiRef.getInfo("SRC_JAVA_DRIVER")%>" "-URL=<%=odiRef.getInfo("SRC_JAVA_URL")%>" "-USER=<%=odiRef.getInfo("SRC_USER_NAME")%>" "-PASS=<%=odiRef.getInfo("SRC_ENCODED_PASS")%>" -FILE_FORMAT=variable "-FIELD_SEP=," "-ROW_SEP=;" "-DATE_FORMAT=yyyyMMddHHmmss"
    It loops ok for a few times but then I get ORA-12519, TNS:no appropriate service handler found error.
    Do you have an idea, or do you think the best way to export the data to csv using regular IKMs?

  • 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
