ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error after patch 9.2.0.7 on Windows2K
I just install the patch 9.2.0.7 for client Oracle machine on windows 2000 server.
Since then I'm constantly getting "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error" and I cannot connect via SQL plus.
Any help is appreciated, mj
I'm trying to connect to databases that are running on a separate machines - aix5.2, and I can connect from every other machine in the office but not from this one.
There's no database on this machine - only Oracle client tools installed with 9.2.0.1 and then updated to 9.2.0.7. Before the update the sqlplus was working just fine. After the patch run, I'm not able to connect viw sqlplus.
There were no errors when running the patch.
Thanks a lot,mj

ORA-12560: TNS Protocol adapter error after full database restore.
Good afternoon,
Following the steps given in page 9-32 of the 2 Day DBA document, after doing a full database restore, the home page shows:
NOTE: all of the output shown in this post is obtained directly from the host not a client. AND all using ENTERPRISE MANAGER.
1. The database instance is down
2. The listener is up
3. Agent Connection to Instance has status of Failed, followed by ORA12505: TNS: listener does not currently know of SID in connect descriptor (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach)
When I try to connect as sysdba using SQL Plus, I get the output shown below:

ORA-12560 TNS: Protocol adapter error while installing database
Hello,
I'm having troubles while installing my oracle database 10g. My server is SUN OS 5.10
When I am in the copying datafiles step, a pop up message shows up [ORA-12560 TNS: Protocol adapter error]
Could you please help me?I am creating the database the database.
I am relatively new in Oracle but I have created a DB before and the ORACLE_SID was set after the database was created.
The steps I execute for are:
1. Install the Oracle engine (without create the DB)
2. Install the Patch
3. Create the database (dbca)
After the database is created, appears a popup (Database configuration assistance warning) where it says to set the oracle_sid among others steps.
Is it mandatory to set the ORACLE_SID before? some other configuration that I could be missing?
Thank you -

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. -
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:

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. -
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.881656 wrote:

It make NO sense do to as above when attempting to connect to Oracle DB on *NIX

or just remove the line or whole file.
Also need to be sure that ipchains is disabled on *NIX system -

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 !982090 wrote:

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. -

If you have backup and you dropped database then you can create it again.
1) Create directories for background,user,audit dumpdest and control,online log,datafiles.
2) Create OracleServiceComp if that is not exists using ORADIM utility(oradim -new -sid COMP -intpwd <syspass> -pfile <pfile location>)
3) After starting oracle service
set ORACLE_SID=COMP
rman target /
/*if you do not have spfile also then you have to restore it from
full/auto backup or startup database using pfile(create it manually)*/
startup nomount ;
restore controlfile from 'full or autobackup location';
alter database mount;
catalog start with 'backup location';
restore database;
recover database;
alter database open resetlogs; -
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error. Running sqlplus in different paths.
Hi,
Title: ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error. Running sqlplus in different paths.
Very strange. We have windows host, 32 bit oracle software 10g, 64 bit sap kernel X64.
We have done Kernel patch yesterday and it was successful, system up and running.
Only problem with sqlplus. I have logged in as SIDADM user and when i open command box, the default path is C:\Documents and Settings\SIDADM. when i run sqlplus sys as sysdba, iam able to connnect without any problem but when iam in this path - /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run and run sqlplus sys as sysdba, it returns ORA-12560 error. Thats why, the BRTOOLS are also not working, giving same error.
Is there a problem in the kernel? Where could be the problem?
The environment variables ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME are set properly.
Many thanks,
Mohan.Hi,
Please look into below SAP recommendation from SAP note 192822:
3. Can I run 32-bit applications on my 64-bit platform?
This depends on the platform you are running on. For all unix- platforms, this can be done without any problem. Even if the OS is started in 64-bit mode, it is possible to run 32-bit applications (R/3, oracle) on it. there is no need to either upgrade oracle or R/3 toa 64-bit version.
This, however is NOT the case for windows & Linux. If you have IA64 hardware in place, you do need to run an 64-bit OS as well as all application in 64-bit mode.
Could you please now share with me your OS (version and whether it is 32 bit or 64 bit as well), database (32 bit or 64 bit), SAP system (32 bit or 64 bit and System release) ?
Thanks

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error with samples
hello,
I am trying to run the cdemo1 sample on Windows 2000 but I keep getting the ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error. I have set the correct username and password in cdemo1.c before compiling.
I am using Oracle 9i and I have the Oracle Client installed.
I am able to connect to Oracle using the command line with the following command sqlplus qa/tester@TESTSERV and I am also able to connect to Oracle using the Sqlplus Net8 client interface.
I have set ORACLE_HOME on the command line to the path of my oracle home directories. And just for kicks I have also set the ORACLE_SID on the command line to TESTSERV
My tnsnames.ora is configured properly
TESTSERV.COMPANY.NET =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = PEPSI)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = TESTSERV)
(SERVICE_NAME = TESTSERV.COMPANY.NET)
None of the methods seem to work.Anyone have any ideas why I can't connect with the cdemo1 but I can connect using command line and SQLPLUS?
-WillI have had a similar problem with 8.1.6 on W2K Server. I have managed to get around it and get into svrmgrl by typing the following at the command prompt: set oracle_sid=sid_name. I am then able to get into svrmgrl without a problem. This always happens after the server has been rebooted. I have no idea why this happens or why setting the sid name works. Hope this helps.

Ora - 12560 TNS Protocol Adapter Error and
Hi,
When the install script tries to connect inernal and create a database instance...the error "ora - 12560 TNS Protocol Adapter Error" is generated which I found in the install log.
I already have successfully created one database (orcl1) on this NT4 (service pack 6). The second database creation is what's giving me a hard time. BTW, I can connect to the first installed database with no problem through sqlplus. However, the second database is a different story (protocol adapter error). I have checked the windows registy to make sure that the entries are there for the second database as there are for the first(orcl1).
How can I resolve this?I assume you are using the ASP.NET Web Site Admin Tool. If so, make sure you do a couple of things to be able to connect.
1) On the Provider tab, choose the second link on the page: the "Advanced" link. Select the Oracle Membership and Role providers here. Now, this admin tool will use the correct providers
2) Next, you need to make sure that the ASP.NET admin tool can connect to Oracle. You can modify the connection string in the IIS admin tool or your machine.config. If you modify your machine.config, look for the following entry:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="OraAspNetConString" providerName="Oracle.DataAccess.Client"
connectionString="User Id=aspnet;Password=aspnet;Data Source=xe" />
</connectionStrings>
Obviously, replace what I have here with your the data source, user id, and password that contain the ASP.NET providers schema that was created in the DB. In this case, I created a separate schema called "aspnet" to store this info.
After that, the ASP.NET admin tool should be able to connect. It will be default to Windows authentication mode, but you can change it to requiring a user id format.
