Ora 12203 in oracle 8i on windows 7

dear all
i have been install oracle 8i on windows 7 by using the way of right click on the EXE file and choose the compatibility with windows XP service pack2
all installation is finished very well but there is a little problem happened when i try to enter to DataBase as below
ORA - 12203 : TNS: unable to connect to the destination
please help me with this error because it is so important to still working on ORACLE 8i
thanks

Please don't mind. I didn't meant to insult you in anyways. It was your statement which did bring laugh and probably, that wasn't appropriate but I couldn't stop myself from doing so. There are numerous new features which the latest releases has offered. So saying that 8i is more reliable than the other versions is a sort of wrong statement . It may be but compared to version 8 just it was from 7.3 and the story goes on. 9i changed the way database was working. 10g, 11g took it to another levels. So your statement is actually not correct. On top of everything, 8i is long time back, desupported which means using it now is really not a good idea for a production system unless you are not an esteem customer who is still enjoying support for it from oracle. Also, you are attempting to install it on the most latest o/s which never certified 8i to run over it ( and neither it would ever will do too) so I believe, you may get errors for sure and unfortunately, no one would suggest you anything about it since the whole combo of yours is unsupported.
Now, you keep on asking about the solution to your problem . Did you read the error descripition that I posted about the error somewhere above? Have you tried the action mentioned in it? If yes, what was the result?

SQL*Loader-704 & ORA-12535 error , Oracle 9i AIX, Windows Client

Hi All,
I try to run SQL*Loader from Windows Client to Oracle 9i server on AIX. The control file is in the windows machine.
C:\SqlLdr user/password@myoradb control=mycontrol.ctl
(the data is 300,000 rows, on the same control file)
I get this error :
SQL*Loader-704 : Internal error : ulconnect: OCIServerAttach [0]
ORA-12535: TNS:Operation timed out.
FYI, from the same machine, TNSPing is OK, SQL*Plus run perfectly.
What is wrong here ?
Should I copy the CTL file into the AIX Server and run the SQL*Plus from AIX client console ?
Thank you for your help,
Krist

Have you checked the sqlnet.log file for an indication of the underlying error? You can also enable network tracing in the sqlnet.ora file, by setting trace_level_client=16.

Ora-12203 error when connecting to oracle 9i on win2003 - urgent help reqd

hi
one of our clients who is on same N3 network and is trying to log on to our oracle 9i database which is installed on windows 2003 + srv pack 1 but is getting ora-12203 erorr.
the ip address of the client machine has been allowed thr our firewalls and been allowed to use sqlnet on oracle port 1521
following setting have also been done
in registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME(0) i have set
USED_SHARED_SOCKET=TRUE
using Net manager, i have set connection type as DEDICATED_SERVER.
protocol as TCP/IP and Port no =1521.
At O/S level we have given oracle_home for 9i access (read, modify execute ..etc) to all sub-folders under e:\orant\ora9i
i have restarted the listener service and also the windows 2003 server.
Is there any specific setup criteria which we need to cater when users connect to windows 2003 server
thanks

Hi Paul
we have 2 external machine which have been given access thr our firewalls
our database is in Wales and the machines are in england.
everything is ok on the server as i have checked the settings which i could know of
All these machines are on same N3 network , the 2 client machines have DNSlookup set which goes thr all the necessary firewalls and when the following command is run on client machine it can see the server
c:\> nslookup < machine_name >
the access to our database is given thr range of ip address as we dont have static IP and when the above command is run it returns dynamic IP address for the database in Wales
H:\>nslookup krusty.hsw.wales.nhs.uk
Server: bwd-dc1.bwd.xelpct.nhs.uk
Address: 10.xxx.xx.xx
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: krusty.hsw.wales.nhs.uk
Address: 194.xxxx.x.xx <---- ip address of databse

Ora-00604 while installing Oracle 10g on Windows XP SP2

I was installing Oracle 10g on Windows XP but the dbca was failling. So I tried to create a database manually.
But every time I launch this:
"SQL> startup nomount pfile="C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\XP10G\scripts\initXP10G.ora";"
I always had:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION
I tried to change some memory value in the init*.ora without more success.
So if anyone has been had such issue; he would be an help for me.

Oracle 8 - ORA -12203 error message -ORA-12203: TNS:unable to connect to destination

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 ..

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

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):

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:

Any other suggestion?

ERROR ORA-12203: TNS: unable to connect to destination

Hello All,
I have installed Oracle 8i and forms 6i on my computer running on Windows NT 4.0 with service pack 4.0. The order of my installation was Oracle 8i and then Forms 6i. I have also used Net8 Easy Config to configure the tnsnames.ora file. I tested the connection on the Net8 Easy Config wizzard and I got the connection successful message. However I still get the ERROR ORA-12203: TNS: unable to connect to destination message when I tried to connect from forms 6i.
I have below my tnsnames.ora file:
# C:\FORMS6I\NET80\ADMIN\TNSNAMES.ORA Configuration File:C:\forms6i\net80\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle Net8 Assistant
LISTENER1 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = austin)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = SUN))
Rep60_AUSTIN-Forms6i,Rep60_AUSTIN-Forms6i.world=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=AUSTIN)(PORT=1949))
I have created database objects, but forms will not connect. What else should do?
Thanks for your anticipated response.

Hi
Your oracle database and forms are installed on different oracle home so when you configurate your sql net that time you are configurating only your oracle database. So for form you must be having different oracle home. you cand change thid from start/oracle inatallation products/home selecter. so change our home and run the form. and if still having problem than check for tnsnames.ora file you must be having two files and both must be having right configuration.
thanks

ORA-12203 and ORA-03106

ORA-12203 TNS:unable to connect to destination.
ORA-03106: fatal two-task communication protocol error.
Hi,
I got this error when i tried to connect to oracle10g Express
from windows 2000/XP station using oracle8 (NET80) client in the station
because my application was developed in FORMS6i/REPORTS
I would like to know if exist some incompatibility between Oracle10g Express and NET80 protocol ? (exp80, imp80, sqlplu80)
PS: When i use Sqlplus from Oracle9i/10 client the connection works fine
Thanks

I think that it is quite reasonable. Forms6i seems to work fine against newer Oracle databases like 10gR2 Enterprise Editon, Standard Edition and even Express Edition (using non-Unicode character sets).
The point is that Forms6i never worked against Unicode databases. The product is no longer under development (for some time by now) and this new functionality has been added to the newer releases like 9i and 10g.

Ora - 12203 error

Hi all
I installed oracle 9i and forms 6i on my home system. Operating system is window xp media center edition 2005. SQLl*plus working fine but when i tried to connect database from forms it is giving following error
ora-12203:tns:unable to connect destination.
Some one help me to solve this problem please.
Thanx in advance,
Ram.

Invalid TNS address supplied or destination is not listening.
This error can also occur because of underlying network transport problems.
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.
Verify your tnsnames.ora entry matches the address where your listener is running. Example:
MyOwnDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = HostPCName)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = DatabaseSID)
)

Error Message :- ORA-12203 TNS : Unable to connect to destination

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle 8i and oracle Forms and reports on my personal system for prectise purpose,
I have window XP on my system and I installed Oracle Forms & Reports first on my system in C: drive,
then I installed Oracle 8i(sql, pl/sql) in D: drive on my system, both installed successfully
but whenever I am trying to connect oracle(sql)
with scott/tiger then it is showing below error message and unable to connect with oracle(sql)
ORA-12203 TNS : Unable to connect to destination.
Please suggest how can I solve that problem.

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 ot destination

Good Day.
My boss handed me a 8.0.5 database running on win2k3R2, I'm encountering the ora-12203 error, I restarted the service and tns listener of oracle and it worked fine but what's bothering me is before I didn't need to restart the service or tns listener. When I reboot the server a windows error pops out "STRTDB80.EXE" encountered an error/problem, is this related? Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
And in 8.0.5, how do you enable archive logs? isn't it the same as in 9i or 8.1.7?
Please help.
Thanks and Best Regards
Dexter Kwan

8.0.5 is not supported for this platform. If you are successful to start it and peform some tasks on it it'll be ok, but there is no guarantee it will work smoothly
I suggest you to install it on a winNT 4.0 Platform, otherwise, you may be walking on a mine field.
If you want to configure archivelog, it is quite the same as in 8i, just make sure you set the log_archive_dest parameter. You may set also the log_archive_duplex_dest parameter and the log_archive_min_succeed_dest.
