ORA 12560 OTN Protocol Adapter Error

I installed Oracle 9iAS DB and Developer. When I tried to run Form (Form Builder). I could not establish the connection.
After insert username and password (without hostname), the error said, ORA 12560 OTN Protocol Adapter Error. However, when I put the hostname, the message alert 'the service name could not be solved' or sth. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thank you so much

Hey Nikhil,
I have the same problem, however when I try to run the commands u have asked to run I get errors.
When I try
c:>svrmgrl
'svrmgrl' is not recognized as an internal or external command.
operable program or batch file.
and when I start lsnrctl
LSNRCTL> lsnrctl start
NL-00853: undefined command "lsnrctl". Try "help"
I am using XP , the database is on other drive and the Developer suite is on other drive however, Listener is working fine. This error "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error" comes only when I try to log into my database from isqlplus. I am using 9i. Any Ideas on what should be done.

hi,Mr sb92075
Do you use what kind of messenger?If we can communicate on messenger,it will facilitate solving my problem I think.I don't mean to disrespect you but I just want to overcome the problem very quickly.
with best regards,
Ian Su
Can I know very clearly?
what are the things(eg dbname,username,protocol I don't know exactly just guessing)needed to connect to the database?
I already installed oracle developer suite 10 and oracle 10g xe database server.
I can't login to sqlplus and what are the things i need to check to get connected to the database from sqlplus?
I appreciate your help and need somebody help.

Error ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error - on client

dear frnds,
I am try to install oracle 11g to my client iam getting error
ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error
pls help me out
thanx in advance

Most likely reason for TNS Protocol adapter error is....you must have older client FIRST in your path.
You 11g binaries are not kicking in, cuz...you must have 10g or similar/older binaries first in your PATH ( in windows )
In windoz...in cmd window...
set ORACLE_SID=xxxx
set ORACLE_HOME= to your 11g home
cd %ORACLE_HOME%\bin OR set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
Then your sqlplus etc..
This time you should not be getting the protocol error.
Let us know whether this solved your problem

"TNS: Protocol adapter error" while creating a database

Hi All,
I´m new to Oracle and trying to create a database.
We use Oracle 8.1.7
I´m using the Database Configuration Assistant. The problem is when creating the database I get the error:
TNS-12560 TNS: Protocol adapter error
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Carlos.

Do you have ORACLE_HOME and/or ORACLE_SID defined in the environment which are different than the settings for the new database that you are trying to create?

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:

HI,
1). Can you connect normally from SQL Plus?

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error in Oracle Forms...

Hi, I installed Oracle developer suite to use for Oracle forms but am getting "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error" when trying to run a form. The database is running locally on my PC.
I've run the command line to see if hostname matches up with the "HOST= " in the ".../network/admin/listener.ora " file match, they do. What can I try next? I did have Oracle 10gXE installed, which I have now removed. I'm including my tnsnames and listener file content:
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora

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.

TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

Hi,
I recently upgraded from oracle 9 to 10g and I get the error above.
I created a new database I CAN connect to it using sqlplus (from console), but I cannot connect using any ide.
.ora files are the following:
listener.ora:
LISTENER =
     (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
          (DESCRIPTION =
               (ADDRESS_LIST =
                    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = loki.dev.justplus.ro)(PORT = 1521))
sqlnet:
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES)
tnsnames:
SM_LOKI =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = loki.dev.justplus.ro)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = SM)
Oracle version is:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
When I try to start listener (lsnrctl status) I get the error:
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=loki.dev.justplus.ro)(PORT=1521)))
TNS-12541: TNS:no listener
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00511: No listener
32-bit Windows Error: 61: Unknown error
Forgot to mention the OS: windows 2003
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

You didn't describe how you performed the upgrade process. But it looks like you performed a migration process instead. If there is no listener service listed it's because it has never been started, or even configured. You should use the netca or the network manager to configure the listener and start it. The first time it starts it shows an error on windows platforms because the service originally doesn't exist, once it is created it displays the listener status.
Please check the name resolution mechanism. If you are working on dhcp assigned IP or if you have a fixed IP. In case you are working with dynamic IP address you should configure a loopback adapter, and I suggest you reading this reference: Connectivity. Loopback Adapter.

TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error on Oracle Enterprise Linux

hi,
I am getting -
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error when I try to connect the Db installed on Oracle Enterprise Linux from other machines.
I made all the .bash_profile changes and created one shared listener also to check whether there is any problem with the dedicated default listener or its port.
Please suggest the solution .

You need to open the firewall on OEL.
Edit the contents of /etc/sysconfig/iptables file. I added the line in bold:
# Firewall configuration written by system-config-securitylevel
# Manual customization of this file is not recommended.
*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - [0:0]
-A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT
-A FORWARD -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type any -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 50 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 51 -j ACCEPT

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state state NEW -m tcp -p tcp dport 22 -j ACCEPT
*-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -m tcp -p tcp dport 1521 -j ACCEPT*
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state state NEW -m udp -p udp dport 137 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state state NEW -m udp -p udp dport 138 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state state NEW -m tcp -p tcp dport 139 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state state NEW -m tcp -p tcp dport 445 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
COMMIT
As you can see, my listener port is 1521.
Do not put that line after the line with REJECT keyword ( it won't work then) !
Save and close the file. Restart iptables:
/etc/init.d/iptables restart
Now you can connect from the outside.
It works on my OEL version 5 update 4.

TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error - Of a different sort

Hi ,
Have a unique problem.
System :- Win 2K
I have installed 9iDB & 9iDS. They were working perfectly fine. I was able to connect to DB from forms. But due to some restrictions i had to resort to 6i forms.
Now i installed 6i forms on the same machine. But when i try to connect to DB i get the TNS:Protocol Adapter error. I am sure the instance and the listener is up and running. Because still i am able to connect from 9i forms. The DB name is MYDB.
The error i am getting is :-
========================
Fatal NI connect error 12203, connecting to:
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=BEQ)(PROGRAM=oracle80)(ARGV0=oracle80ORCL)(ARGS='(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)))')))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=ORCL)(CID=(PROGRAM=C:\Oracle6i\BIN\PLUS80W.EXE)(HOST=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)(USER=Myself))))

===============================
Can someone please guide me as to how i can connect to my 9iDB from 6iforms.
Thanks & Regards,

Oracle is a bit touchy with tnsnames.ora spelling. I copied your entry, just changing names :
MYDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)

ERROR:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service nameThen I change MYDB entry, just adding some spaces :

    (CONNECT_DATA =

Did you try copying 9iDS SQLNET.ORA and TNSNAMES.ORA to 6i Home ?
