Oracle 10g XE: ORA 12514: TNS ...

Hello,
I installed "Oracle 10g XE Database" in a Windows 2003 Server platform.
Sometimes, when I restart the machine, database gives me the following error:
ORA 12514:TNS:IL LISTENER NON è ATTUALMENTE A CONOSCENZA DEL SERVIZIO RICHIESTO NEL DESCRITTORE DI CONNESSIONE.
DESCRIPTION: AN UNHANDLED EXCEPTION OCCURRED DURING THE EXECUTION OF THE CURRENT WEB REQUEST. PLEASE REVIEW THE STOCK TRACE FOR MORE INFO ABOUT THE ERROR AND WHERE IT
ORIGINATED IN THE CODE.
EXCEPTION DETAILS: ORACLE DATA ACCESS.CLINT.ORACLE EXCEPTION: ORA 12514:TNS: IL LISTENER NON è ATTUALMENTE A CONOSCENZA DEL SERVIZIO RICHIESTO NEL DESCRITTORE DI CONNESSIONE.
I can solve it restarting "OracleServiceXE" and "OracleXETNSListener".
My colleagues cannot resolve this problem and they had to install Oracle 9i.
It is all ok with Microsoft XP Professional.
Is there any patch available to solve this problem with Microsoft Windows Server 2003?
Thank you very much.
Massimiliano

it seems not to be a bug but a configuration issue.
12514, 00000, "TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor"
// *Cause: The listener received a request to establish a connection to a
// database or other service. The connect descriptor received by the listener
// specified a service name for a service (usually a database service)
// that either has not yet dynamically registered with the listener or has
// not been statically configured for the listener. This may be a temporary
// condition such as after the listener has started, but before the database
// instance has registered with the listener.
// *Action:
// - Wait a moment and try to connect a second time.
// - Check which services are currently known by the listener by executing:
// lsnrctl services <listener name>
// - Check that the SERVICE_NAME parameter in the connect descriptor of the
// net service name used specifies a service known by the listener.
// - If an easy connect naming connect identifier was used, check that
// the service name specified is a service known by the listener.
// - Check for an event in the listener.log file.

10g XE, ORA-12514 TNS Listener does not currently know of service req...

Hi,
I have an Oracle XE installan. After booting and trying to connect to the Oracle 10g XE database, then on and off I encounter ORA-12514 error. Did someone experience a similar issue? As far as I know
Regards,
Tamas

Hi Tamas Szecsy!
I encountered a bug that looks similar to yours using Fedora 10 and Oracle XE. The problem has been that the DB hadn't registered its self by listener. After a "lsnrctl status" I saw that the listener didn't know the service XE. I did an "ALTER SYSTEM REGISTER" in SQL*Plus and the problem was solved for this time. I had to do the register each time I did a shutdown and startup.
Hope that helps!
yours sincerely

Connecting to Oracle XE via regular 10g client - ORA-12514

I have had the 10g client installled on my computer for a while, for developing against our company Oracle databases. I have now installed the XE database locally on my computer so I can do some local development - according to the information I've been able to find the two should live side-by-side without problem.
I can still connect to our company databases just fine, but I can't get a connection to the local XE database at all.
I've added this line to tnsnames.ora:
XE = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = XE)))
The error I'm getting connecting is:
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
I did mean duplicates even between different tnsnames.ora files.
As I understand, if you XE works, you should not need do anything for that tnsnames.ora.
Just find how entry should be for client.
BTW, what tool you will use for XE? Do you need client?
E.g. if you use SQL Developer, you do not need client or set anything to tnsnames.ora
Regards,
Jari

BTW, it might good to search Instant Client forums if you find help there.
If you do not find answer, then it might good idea post question there.
At least for me this is more client question than XE.
Instant Client
But as I understand it should not be any problem use 10g client for XE.
I just have never done that =)

ORA-12514: TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect

I have created 10g database for catalog.
I kept the tns entry in some other server. Tnsping is working fine.. I can see the result.

Please help me..
Thanks in advance.

Try on the server where it doesn't work:
sqlplus ismdba/xxxxx@"(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = torora60)(PORT = 1522))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = rman09na)))"
or
tnsping "(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = torora60)(PORT = 1522))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = rman09na)))"
(note the double quotes)
If that works then your tnsnames.ora is incorrect on that server.

Hi,
no, you got it wrong:
Oracle uses network services which are a logical representation of the database to resolve network requests.
in your ntsnames.ora file you have the following:
network_alias = my_alias -- here you can write anything you just need to resolve it correctly
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL=TCP)
(host=hostname or IP)
(port=listener adapter port)
) -- this a complete socket information of the listener adapter!!
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SERVICE=your_service) -- this is what you tell the listener about the service you want to connect to. It is defined in the instance with the paramter service_names
In general it is network aliasses which are resolved with connect descriptor in the tnsnames.ora.
A connect decriptor consists of the address part + the connect_data part.
The address part is used to reach the listener.
The connect_data part is the information you hand over to the listener.
So the listener must know the service name.
The listener can either know this from the instance itself. When an Oracle instance is started it tries to registrer itself with a listener which listens on port 1521 for the protocol TCP.
The instance tell this listener two paramater values: INSTANCE_NAME and SERVICE_NAMES. Then the listener knows the instance and which services are defined. It is just a reprentation of the database to the listener.
If the listerner knows the service requested with a connect, it can establish a connection to a service handler. This could be a dedicated server process or a dispatcher.
Another mehtod to let the listener know the service requested is so called static regustration of the instance. This is made with an SID LIST in the listener.ora file.
Then the listener knows SID for the instance plus ORACLE_HOME and can find the executable to start a server process for a connect request.
Hope it helps a little-.

If you have further questions pls do not hesitate to ask. O.K.?

ORA-12505, TNS:listener and ORA-12514: TNS:listener

All,
Connecting to the database through the SQL Developer is giving me the error "ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor"
Database version : Oracle 10g XE

I have restarted my machine and tried but no luck. Tried from sqlplus also and the error was

Please provide me the steps to check and resolve this issue.
Thank you very much in advance.
Thanks

ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Cause: A connection to a database or other service was requested using a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a net service name then the net service name could not be found in a naming method repository, or the repository could not be located or reached.
Action:
- If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):
- Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA)
- Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper directory and is accessible.
- Check that the net service name used as the connect identifier exists in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
- Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the TNSNAMES.ORA file. Look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Errors in a TNSNAMES.ORA file may make it unusable.
- If you are using directory naming:
- Verify that "LDAP" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA).
- Verify that the LDAP directory server is up and that it is accessible.
- Verify that the net service name or database name used as the connect identifier is configured in the directory.
- Verify that the default context being used is correct by specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN as the connect identifier
- If you are using easy connect naming:
- Verify that "EZCONNECT" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA).
- Make sure the host, port and service name specified are correct.
- Try enclosing the connect identifier in quote marks. See the Oracle Net Services Administrators Guide or the Oracle operating system specific guide for more information on naming.

Perculiar ORA-12514 TNS:listener does not currently know of service request

Hi all
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this but I was wondering whether Anyone has ran into a similar problem or know how to solve this seeing as this involes SOA.
I am running Oracle 10g 10.2.0.4 and Oracle SOA 10.1.3.3. I've also written a piece of code that connects to the database using the database's jndi name from a connection pool. I can start the DB and the SOA with no problems however, if I try and connect to the database using one of the connection objects from the connection pool , i.e.
db = connection.getConnection("jdbc/LocalASDBDataSource");
the listener stops working and I get the error message
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
I know that prior to trying to get the connection from the connection pool, the listener works because if i run lsnrctl services, it reports that the listener is up and running but after the point where I try to get the connection i.e.
db = connection.getConnection("jdbc/LocalASDBDataSource");
the listener stops working. If run lsnrctl services, it then reports that the listener supports no services. The only way I can get the service and the listener to start working is to delete the listener and the Service using Net Manager and then recreating it again but then every time that I run the code again, I get back to the error
the funny thiing is that this only started when I increased the processes because I was gettig ORA-12518: TNS:listener could not hand off client connection
The jndi properties file that I use to create my initial context is
java.naming.factory.initial=com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=opmn:ormi://localhost:6003:oc4j_soa
java.naming.security.principal=oc4jadmin
java.naming.security.credentials=password1
My Listener.ora is

Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

The tnsname.ora is not used in this situation as the datasource / connection pool connects via jdbc.
What happens if you bounce the database, instead of deleting the service.
It sounds like you are hitting bug 6017068.
Have a look at that patch

HI guys
I have shutdown my database immidiate to do archiving and when i startup data base in in "mount" stage i get following message. Can any body help me why i am getting this message

my database name is ORCL and sid name is also same

Arsal,
I am posting an example of working init.ora file (pfile). Once you know pfile is correct and you can open your database with it. YOu can create spfile from it (server parameter file) and spfile is of binary format.
You can use this as a reference and compare againsts your pfile (init.ora) file. You might have to change path and memory parameter according to your system resources but rest will work

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
./oraclevm-template.sh"
The outcome of the above script as similar as below:

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!!

Data Guard Broker teasing error ORA-12514: TNS:listener

Hello,
I have spent many hours but don't understand what little thing I am missing or confusing me.. Please help to fix the issue.
Physical Standb db created successfully, but now facing following issue: Though it should be and must be fixed but really making me mad

I created Stby DB with the minimum parameters required, so that I configure BROKER and see it magic, but badly stuck in this situation here. I have read many docs related to this..but can not fix it unfortunately.
Please guide me from your own experience as note ids, blogs are not helping me here...
Bundle of thanks.
Best Regards

Hi,
Your listener.ora file has SERVICE_NAME = dg_db2.domain whereas tnsnames.ora file has SERVICE_NAME = dg_db2.
Check in your database for exact service name and reflect the same in both the files.
SQL> sho parameter service_names
Restart the listener and try connecting.
Thank you!!
