ORA-12560 on Exp

Hi all i try to launch an export command from my PC(I can't from server from some reason).
I have a Windows XP Notebook
I launch this command
exp user/password
and i get an ORACLE 12560 error
I check
1 - before launch exp i do set oracle_sid = mySid
2 - CON01 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = w01)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = mySid)
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
3 - ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0
4 - i check for oracle services but i dont't find it but i think is because is a client.
Any idea?

Export data from a 9i database requires a 9i (or lower version) export utility, yes, that's better.
Did you use exp or expdp ?
Anyway, try to find a 9i client onsite, or download it, install and play around.
Nicolas.

ORA-12560 & imp\exp commands

When typing imp and supplying the login system along with my password I got the ORA-12560 error. After reading about the problem on the forums and the internet, I found that setting the sid with the command "set ORACLE_SID=" solved the issue. The problem is I would like not to have to do this every time I start Oracle after starting up my OS ( I have all the oracle services set to manual startup ). How can this be done ?
cheers

It seems you are on Windows. Set ORACLE_SID as environment variable (Control Panel ==> System ==> Advanced ==> Environment Variables). That works fine as long as you have only one database on your machine. You could also create a .bat file, which sets ORACLE_SID and starts service and database.

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.

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>.

SQL*Loader-704 & ORA-12560

Hi my oracle friends...
I'm getting this error when trying to use sqlldr:
SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: ulconnect: OCIServerAttach [0]

I'm using this control file:

And I'm using the right command-line:
sqlldr userid=daf/fad control=c:\control.ctl log=c:\sqlldr.log
Another doubt is: how Oracle knows wich of my services they need to connect?
Can I pass this in sqlldr command-line parameters or control file?
Thanks 4 all...

for this:
how Oracle knows wich of my services they need to connect?
Normally you have defined an environment variable called ORACLE_SID that tells oracle what instance to connect.
try doing the following for getting the value of the variable:
unix: echo $ORACLE_SID
windows: echo %ORACLE_SID%
And for the error, this is what I found, probably some one else have a different opinion:
Error:     LDR 704
Text:     Internal error: %s [%d]
Cause:     An internal error has occurred.
Action:     Make a note of the message and the number, then contact customer
     support.

ORA 12560 What to do ??

I want to make a dump file for that reason
I went on the command prompt and
entered
EXP username/password
I get
EXP 0056 : Oracle error 12560 encountered
ORA-12560: TNS:Protocol adapter error
EXP-0000 :Export terminated unsuccessfully
Please advise what to do?? How do I get rid of this
Thanks
Nick....

Can you connect to the database with SQL*Plus without specifying a TNS name? In other words, does
sqlplus username/passwordwork, or do you need to specify @TNSName?

Ora-12547 and ora-12560 Great Problem

Hello. Sorry for my english.
I've a great problem.
My server hp with 4 processor and 8 gb memory and oracle 9.2.0.6 and linux Red Hat Advanced Server have one great problem. If the connected user are 70 or more , I can't connect from the client with sqlplus name/password@service_name, but I can connect from the server with sqlplus name/password. sqlplus give me ora-12547 and if I launch sqlplus and after write user and password it give me ora-12560
If the session are 69 or less I can connect from the client and I can connect from the server.
The main applicatio work becaus it call oracle directly from server, but when the users are more then 70 I can't use odbc or Enterprise Manager Console from the client.
Any ideas ? Thank you.

# Some parameter settings are generic to any size installation.
# For parameters that require different values in different size
# installations, three scenarios have been provided: SMALL, MEDIUM
# and LARGE. Any parameter that needs to be tuned according to
# installation size will have three settings, each one commented
# according to installation size.
# Use the following table to approximate the SGA size needed for the
# three scenarious provided in this file:
# -------Installation/Database Size------
# SMALL MEDIUM LARGE

# Size 4K 5500K 8800K 21000K
# To set up a database that multiple instances will be using, place
# all instance-specific parameters in one file, and then have all
# of these files point to a master file using the IFILE command.
# This way, when you change a public
# parameter, it will automatically change on all instances. This is
# necessary, since all instances must run with the same value for many

Error ORA-12560 prompts when trying to log in to the Enterprise Manager

Hi all,
I am a newbie to Oracle.
Just installed the Oracle 9i Database Enterprise Edition (9.0.1) into Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition. Problem is encountered when trying to log in to the Enterprise Manager Standalone mode using either system/oracle or scott/tiger as credentials. Error "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error" prompts.
I tried to check with some configuration and see whether the services are started. Services of "OracleOraHome90TNSListener" and "OracleServiceORCL" have been started and the database exists in the dedicated directory. Environment variables of "ORACLE_HOME" and "ORACLE_SID" have been added manually as the SID is set to orcl, which I just follow what the instruction manual has stated. Moreover, I can't get access using command prompt typing "svrmgrl"; error returned stating " 'svrmgrl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
Another information is that there is no domain set in my server. Just a server with a name being assigned in a workgroup.
Hence, would you mind please advice me what to do in order to get access into the Enterprise Manager? It's quite an urgent task.
A million thx in advance!
Best Regards,
Karen

Hi Jigneshrp,
Thanks for your reply.
It is checked that the listener is running and TNS name service exists. Following your advice, I did create a new listener and another name service and use them, but the same error turns out when trying to log in to the Enterprise Manager again.
Additional information to take note for is that while reconfiguring the existing listener or creating a new listener, a mesage prompts stating "The information provided for this listener is currently in use by other software on this computer. You can proceed with the configuration as it is, but it will not be possible to start this listener until the conflict is resolved. Would you like to continue with the continue with the configuration anyway? Yes/No".
As for the reconfiguration or the new creation of TNS names service, when I am trying to test for the connection, the results in the details pane states that "Connecting... ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error. The test did not succeed...."
Would you mind pls advice me on these?
Furthermore, there exist 2 questions I am wondering is that it is stated in the instruction manual that prior to the installation, a static IP should be specified for it instead of the DHCP one; hence, I wanna ask after the complete insallation, is it that the server should be running in the network, i.e. allow it to get connected with the outside network?
2nd question is that can Oracle 9i Database Server Standard Edition (9.0.1) be installed under a Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and just a Window XP Professional?
Thanks for your reply.
Best Regards,
Karen

Hello all,
I am getting ORA-12560 error running svrmgrl,sqlplus or dbca after installing 8.1.7 release 3 and patched to 8.1.7.4. My oracle_sid is set, oracle_home is pointing to the right file system. listener and database services are up and running and tnsping comes back ok. I have exhausted all metalink doc referring to ora-12560 and windows 2000. Has anyone experienced this problem before? Any help is appreciated.

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.
regards,
Tarisa.

Hi,
Make sure that you point to the right path in ORACLE_HOME directory system variable.
If you already have one ORACLE COMPONENET RUNNING (SAY 10g SOA etc). Then we need to remove the path in the variable ORACLE_HOME and point to new oracle home path.
I had the similar issue it worked me. I hope it will work for you too as well.

11g on VMWare Not Starting Service, ORA-12560 etc.

It's obvious that my Listener is up and running but that the Oracle Service never got started. I'm using a VMware instance of Win2003 Server with Oracle 11g on it.
I'm having very similar issues to the person that wrote this:
http://www.dbasupport.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50051
ORA-12560 at service startup *** ( protocol adapter error )
I'm working on a VMware instance, and I'm not trying to connect from another machine, so I don't think I'll need a 'tnsnames.ora'.
I did review my listener.ora and sqlnet.ora
and I did adjust my hosts file (on this Win2003 Server, vmware instance), adding an entry to resolve local host and also the FQ machine name to 127.0.0.1
This I was unsure about since when I ping the FQ machine name (property of My Computer) I get a unique ip address.
There's also the VMware issues of what Ethernet connection setting to use: Bridged, NAT or Host Only.
I've tried to look at logs and config files: connection, startup, trace log, etc.
Set tracing on and saw some errors in the trace, but not sure about how to go about debugging those.
It's apparent that I'll need to start the Database with oradim or a version specific command, oradimxx but I wasn't sure what to use for my -pfile parameter, or how to create orainit.ora or configure that file.
One last thing: Previously my program group for 11g had 'Enterprise Manager' which brought up the webpage and showed that the database was up, uptime and other stats. Now that menu link has disappeared.
Any suggestions on all of these issues ? TIA.

Yeah , of course Oracle offers his own hypervisor... that's one very powerful reason.
Please provide us with proper references to support your statements, we all will appreciate that.

I've found the answer on Metalink Note 249212.1, which basically says that Oracle doesn't certifies any product on any VMWare virtualization products, however Oracle will support the product isolating the relationship among operating system and the Oracle product, to known issues or not known issues BUT not related to the existence of an hypervisor layer (VMWare in this case, and distinct of Oracle VM).
In other words, if you have an issue where a certified OS+Oracle product is running over a VMWare product, you'll be lucky if the error is replicated without the VMWare product, otherwise it will be an issue induced from the hypervisor layer, therefore the hypervisor provider must solve.
Anybody interested will follow similar proceedings with another VM products like Virtuozzo (Note 412431.1), Xen (Note 417770.1), this clearly shows a commercial strategy...not technical barriers.

ORA-12560 Error

I installed 9i Developer Suite. I did not install the net configuration manger. The installation said it was not required. I am using forms builder and can compile the form. I connect to the database. However, when running the form I receive a ORA-12560 error. Also, the logon appears and I am prompted to connect to the database. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The URL looks quite strange to me:
http://lap_top:8888/forms90/f90servlet?form=E:\cis355@userid=scott\tiger@buffer_records=no@debug_message
Looks like the "@" is used to separate the parameters which is new to me. Normally it's either "&" or "+". You can set the separator somewhere, cannot thou remember where? Registry? Also the userid isn't complete. The database name is missing, and even if it was there. How could the server know what's what? I mean, connect is done by user/pass@db, and if "@" is used as a separator...
Try this URL:
http://lap_top:8888/forms90/f90servlet?form=E:\cis355.fmx&userid=scott/tiger@orcl

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
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
LISTENER_ORCL =

ORCL =

(PROGRAM = extproc)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = frankenputer)(PORT = 1522))
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.

Although this question is completely off topic of the Personalization you can learn how to configure the SQL*Net connect from the manual by reading the topic "Configure the Client to Use a Net Service Name" found at the following link:
