Oracle 9i Database gives the error "ORA-12560: TNS: Protocol Adaptor Error"

Hi
I am working on Oracle9i Database, but from few days there is a problem, I can not enter in the database using SQL*PLUS or any other tool. When I give the user name and password it give the error message, that is given below:
"ORA-12560: TNS: Protocol Adaptor Error"
Please help me regarding this error.
Gul Bahar Oad

A bit generic .... In SqlPlus are you connecting from the server or from a Client ?
Did you check if the listener is running ?
Did you try tnsping ?
What is your OS ?

Ora 12560 - TNS Protocol Adaptor Error

Hi .
I have downloaded Oracle 11 g from Oracle .com
After installation i started Command line for oracle
Used c:\> sqlplus
After entering username and password which i set at the time on installation
I got error
ORA 12560 : TNS Protocol Adaptor error
Any idea....
Thanks

Hello,
You may set the ORACLE_SID first:
set ORACLE_SID=XE
sqlplus user/passwordElse, check for the Service OracleServiceXE in the Control Pannel. It should be started.
Hope this help.

TNS: Protocol adaptor not loadable

Hi,
I am facing TNS: Protocol adaptor not loadable error when i am trying to login from SQLPLUS.
But from the command prompt when I open sqlplus I am able to login. Also I am able to TNSPING my service (PROD).
I am using Oracle 11g, This was installed along with EBS 12.1.1 My OS is Windows Server 2003 SP1.
All my environment variables are properly set.
I am unable to think of possible reasons.
Thank You,
Niranjan.

All my environment variables are properly set.Are you sure? Seems like you are "mixing homes". Does this EBS have an Oracle Client inside perhaps?
ProcessMonitor is a good tool, with which you could find out from where files actually are loaded.

ORA-12560 TNS:Protocol Adapter Error and ORA-12557 Error

Hello ,
I have installed Oracle 11.2.0 64 bit database on my Windows 7 ( Home Premium) PC which is also 64 bit. I installed it because I am trying to setup Informatica. Later, I learnt that informatica is 32 bit and can not communicate to Oracle 11.2.0 64 bit database. So after digging through solutions, someone mentioned that I need to install Oracle 11g client 32bit.
I have installed 11g client software successfully now. Here is problem though :
When I launch SQL-Plus from 11g database , it works fine. However I launch SQL-Plus from 32bit client it gives me error as :
Ora-12560 :TNS: Protocol Adapter Error.
So I have been trying to resolve this error. I saw that this question has been posted many many times and have tried many thing as listed below :
1. copy tnsnames.ora from database ( dbhome_1) to client installation ( client_1 ) under ..\network\admin\ --- Didn't work.
2. Set $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_SID environment variable.
Here is interesting fact - If I set $ORACLE_HOME to database path and not client path error changes to :
ORA-12557 TNS: Protocol adapter not loadable.
If I keep $ORACLE_HOME as client path then I get same error as earlier ORA-12560.
3. I have also tried changing $PATH variable. I did set to path containing only database installation, only client installation, both database and client installation with database installation appearing first
But all of these haven't worked.
Can anyone please suggest what I am missing and any further things I could try ?
Thank you in advance !

Thank you in advance !unfortunately, we need to know exactly how you tried to connect with sqlplus when it "worked" and when it "didn't work". The key to the reported error messages is highly dependent on the environment settings AND the specification of the connect string. A copy and paste of the entire command line session would be most helpful.
But again, running on any 'home' edition of windows is not supported.

My guess is that the database service "HCM" is not up and running but not sure how to make up and running. Even I could not find it listed in the linux services list.
Note: Able to login sqlplus using "sqlplus sys/sys as sysdba" but failing to access database table as "select * from PSRECDEFN;"
thanks
Espii.

Hi Nicolas,
I have no luck and the error still persists.
I have set the "export ORACLE_SID=HCM" from root user and oracle user too.
I guess, I have already loaded database when I ran the "cd /opt/oracle/psft/vm

Does anyone have any ideas what else I can check. I'm a Unix person, not a Windows person, which is making it even more complicated. If I was on Unix, I'd just blow everything away and start again from scratch, but since I'm not sure how to remove all traces from the registry, etc., I don't want to try that on this machine. There was already one other database created, but it's not goign to be used.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
regards,
Tarisa.

hi,
thanks for the info. the problem, as it turns out, was that I was connected to the db server via a terminal service (Microsoft Management Console), which for some reason caused probelms with TNS. After I connected directly to the machine using VNC, I was able to create the database with no problems. strange but true.

Tarisa.

ORA-12560 TNS protocol Adapter error in 11g (11.1.0.6)

Hello All,
I have Oracle 11g installed on my machine and when i tried to log in to sql plus i got the error below:
ORA-12560 TNS protocol Adapter error
By setting the ORACLE_SID = orcl by browsing to the bin directory of Oracle Installation the above error disappaears and i am able to log in from sql plus.
My intention is to create a db backup for which i am trying to use the exp command...this time the same error appears.
Also the solution of setting the ORACLE_SID is cumbersome..everytimt i want to use sql plus i need to go in and set the ORACLE_SID.
Can anybody please help me out find a good solution for this?
Any help would be appreciated friends.....
Thanks in Advance!!!!!
Regards.
Alicia

Also the solution of setting the ORACLE_SID is cumbersome..everytimt i want to use sql plus i need to go in and set the ORACLE_SID.
Can anybody please help me out find a good solution for this?The solution depends on your (not specified) operating system...
Anyway, if you have more than one database it's normal that you have to set ORACLE_SID, if not how can Oracle know which database you want to access to ?
You can create batch files, one per database, or you can use connection strings, e.g. sqlplus username/password@<DB>.

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.

Ora 12543 tns destination host not reachable

Dear All,
OS: RHEL 5
DB VERSION:-11.2.0
I am facing problem related to ora 12543 tns destination host not reachable
The problem here is little bit different what exactly other face:-
i have 2 servers with name abc.localdomain & xyz.localdomain.
Db name on abc.localdomain is abc
Db name on xyz.localdomain is xyz
When i try to ping with below mentioned command abc and xyz from abc.localdomain i am successful
ping abc
ping xyz
But when the same thing i am trying to do from xyz.localdomain i am able to ping the db running on xyz.localdomain. but getting the above mentioned error duringg pinging of abc database located on abc.localdomain server
I am able to ping both the server's from their ip's and hostname but not by abc db name and also checked firewall on both servers are disabled.
Here are my tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files for both machines
xyz.localdomain tnsnames.ora file:-

So kindly advice over the same if anyone of you face the same problem.

TNS-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
there was a entry in /etc/hosts which was directing primary.swapnilkambli.com to 127.0.01
This was because I created this OS from a Virtual box template wherein that entry was made.
I changed the /etc/hosts to refelct the true address and it worked!!
