Ora-12560 TNS ERROR

Hello All!
I keep getting this error after installation ,when I try to log into SQL+:
Ora-12560 TNS PROTOCOL ADAPTER ERROR..
Any ideas how to go about it?
thanks!
Sandhya

Hi Sandhya,
Are the scripts used to restart your database instance(s) after system restart also starting the TNS listener process?
Are you using multiple Oracle Homes? Oracle 8.1.5 or 8.1.6 with Oracle 8.0 can cause 'issues'.
Cause:
ORA-12560: "TNS:protocol adapter error" that means the listener was unable to start a process connecting the user to the database server.
Actions:
Check addresses used for proper protocol specification. Before
reporting this error, look at the error stack and check for lower level transport errors. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation. Turn off tracing when the operation is complete.
TNS experienced a protocol-adapter error. There could be some problem with the installation of your Oracle Protocol Adapter. To resolve this problem, turn on tracing and review the output to identify the severity of the problem
Regards,
Beau

ORA-12560 TNS error in protocol adapter. Why ?

I installed on computer1 an Oracle Express 10g server and he runs fine.
Then, on another computer2 in the inhouse-net I installed the Oracle Client.
When I try to contact now from computer2 the Oracle server on computer1
with e.g.
sqlplus.exe myname/mypasswd
I am getting an error ORA-12560: TNS: Error in protofol adapter.
What does that mean?When I enter the same locally on the server machine everything is fine.
Firewalls between the computers are disabled.
Which Oracle services must run on the client (not the server !) machine ?

Ok, my Oracle Client is installed in C:\XEClient
Below I show you the (recursive) output of the 'tree.exe' command (under WinXP)
of the folder tree of C:\XEClient. Where is the directory "network/admin" ??????
C:\XEClient>tree
Folder PATH listing for volume WinXP
Volume serial number is xxxxxxxx

Error Ora-12560: TNS: error del adaptador del Protocolo

When I'm connect to oracle data base I have this problem it's the error.
What can I do whith my problem.
Please helpme.

It's basically saying that you cannot connect because the SQL*Net process can't find the database.
Check:
1) your tnsname.ora file is correct
2) your ORACLE_HOME is correct (if you are getting the error on the server console)
3) Check the alert log - that can often contain some more information.
4) The listener is up and running.

Hi ;
is there anyone who can help me this ERROR to resolve.
First of all, I use Windows XP system and I tried to connect PHP to Oracle 10g DataBase.But I'd get the ERROR ABOVE.
I've installed PHP 5 Editor 5.0.3 und XAMPP for the connection to Oracle Database . The Database is running When I 'd try the connection between both of them. The PHP script looks like this;:
<?php
// Datenbank verbindug zu Oracle wifi
$co = @ocilogon('hr8','hr8') ; // this is a String with 'username' and 'PSW'
$sql = 'select * from jobs';

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:

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-12560-TNS PROTOCOL ERROR

SIR,
i hadbeen installed oracle aplication server.but i m not connecting to database.when i use the sql*plus.i use the user name-scott &password-tiger.i got an error ORA-12560=TNS PROTOCOL ERROR.
I M NOT ABLE TO RECTIFY ITS PROBLEM,how can i create host string in oracle application server 10g.please send reply its very urgent.
thanx ranjeet

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:

How to solve ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error?

I'm trying to use sqlplus on Windows 2008 R2 which is installed on VirtualBox to access an Oracle 11gR2 database on Red Hat Linux.
I'm sure that the database on Red Hat Linux is up and tnsnames.ora is a copy from another machine which is used by another application to connect to the same Oracle database.
When I run sqlplus, I got the ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
sqlnet.ora
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)
Both sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora are located in c:\app\administrator\product\11.2.0\client64\network\admin folder.
The registry ORACL_HOME has c:\app\administrator\product\11.2.0\client64.
echo %ORACLE_HOME% incommand window returns %ORACLE_HOME%
echo %ORACL_SID% in command window returns %ORACLE_SID%
If I set ORACLE_HOME to another folder, I will get the following error:
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus
SP2-0667: Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory
So, I believe the ORACLE_HOME in registry has the correct value.
I have also tried set ORACLE_SID to the service name listed in tnsnames.ora but sqlplus still returns the ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error.
For unknown reason, the value of ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID I set by using set command will not persist after I close the command window that I set the values.

It make NO sense do to as above when attempting to connect to Oracle DB on *NIX
which knows NOTHING about NTS Authentication.
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE)
or just remove the line or whole file.
Also need to be sure that ipchains is disabled on *NIX system

Edited by: shajib on Mar 12, 2010 1:31 PM

Step 1 - from a command line on the database machine, enter 'lsnrctl status' and report the output
Step 2 - display the contents of the %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora file on the machine running sqlplus.
These are the first two stepo, whether on the database machine or in a traditional client-server configuration.

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 ?

Urgent!!! ERROR: ORA-12560 TNS: protocol adapter error

Recently we tried to install a new product with a new dataabse instance. Since doing this SQLPLUS replies with:
ERROR: ORA-12560
TNS: protocol adapter error
I have looked at my tnsnames.ora and listener.ora and everything looks fine. I am hoping someone here can shed some light on this for me... Is it possible something got corrupted?
Here is my file settings...

ERROR:
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
This is a local connection (called an internal connect in the old days). The connection does not go via the Listener. It is a local IPC connection. And as you can see, you do not supply a database schema and password as credentials - the o/s user and environment need to provide the credentials.
So I would not expect a TNS protocol adapter error, as this usually indicates a network driver related problem.
For a local IPC connection to work, TWO_TASK must not be set, and ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME must be set (and valid). The local client driver needs to launch an Oracle server process (dedicated server process to service the client driver). It finds that executable in ORACLE_HOME/bin. Next it needs that server process to "attach" itself to the database's brains (the SGA). This shared memory area is identified via the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID variables.
There also is a requirement that the dedicated server process created, has the o/s permissions to attach to the SGA - which means it needs to be run as the same o/s user as the owner of the shared memory (in other words, the client should be running in the same o/s user as the database processes).
Thus the need to have these variables set. And no need for using a Listener - it is not a factor.
