SQL Adapter Error

Hi All,
I am getting the below mentioned error in the SQL adapter used in ALL.EXCEPTIONS send port in Microsoft.Practices.ESB application.
The adapter "SQL" raised an error message. Details "[DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead (WrapperRead()).]General network error. Check your network documentation."
I am unable to comprehend as what this error implies. Please provide your inputs and help in solving this issue.
Thank You.

Jdbc-odbc java error using SQL adapter in o9iASWireless

I've used the SQL adapter in the previous releases of wireless without any problem. Most of the time I would use it for all the wireless PLSQL applications in the Oracle database and it works very OK.
I have also used it to connect with a SQLserver database to try out some queries. In this case I would use the standard JDBC/ODBC bridge driver from SUN.
In release 2.0 I can't connect with this SQL Server database anymore.
I've added a system DSN to the ODBC configuration of the Windows 2000 server. This will give access to a internal SQL server database via TCP. A password username is required.
When I try to add a SQLservice in the service designer using the SQL adapter I will use the following parameters:
JDBC connect string: JDBC:ODBC:<DSNNAME>
JDBC driver: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
un: <username>
pw: password>
Query (without ';'): select count(*) from <tablename>
Minimum number of Database connections in the pool 5
Maximum number of Database connections in the pool 100
Increment size for the connection pool 1
Idle Timeout (in minutes) 30
Now I get the following error:

I remember that I was always able to connect to the SQL server database with previous releases also with a count query. I've also used JDK 1.3.1 with o9iAS release 1.0.2.1.
Any suggestions for a solution?

The old deprecated SQL Adapter (consider switching to the new WCF-SQL!), does not hold any option for disabling DTC when communicating with a remote SQL Server. Not that it is ever a good idea to disable transactions when using BizTalk Adapters, BizTalk
is only a reliable engine as long as all the protocols behave in a transnational manner.
I have experienced DTC problems where DTCTester.exe said everything was fine, but DTCPing.exe still reported a problem. Can you run the DTCPing test both ways (BizTalk -> SQL and vice versa).

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.

Yes, the XP firewall is running. During the Oracle instalation it poped up twice, but I selected 'Unblock'. I can't turn it off because it is running using the domain settings, but I can add exceptions (programs or ports). Port 1521, tnsping or sqlplus are not blocked and there is an option 'Display a notification when Windows Firewall blocks a program' witch is checked.

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>.

Oracle 8i tns:protocol adapter error

Hello,
     I am programmer and wanted to try and learn oracle
database. I am trying to install Oracle 8i Releae 8.1.5
developer edition (which I got with a book) on windows NT 4.0
with service pack 6. But after doing a minimal install when and
creating a database I am unable to access that database using
SQL plus. Whenever I try to connect an error message is
displayed saying:
     "ora12560TNS: protocol adapter error."
     I tried to install it on my friends machine on one
friends computer it worked but on another's it didn't work. Same
message appears on that friends machine also who is using
windows 2000 professional.
     Could you please tell me what could be the problem.
Because I am able to connect to database using mmc snap-in
provided for database administration.
     Also during installation it displays a message about a
single missing .tmp file in a sub-directory which is many levels
deeper than the directory where oracle is being installed. File
name I think is nmconf.tmp.
     I hope you can suggest me some way to solve this problem.
Sukhwinder Singh

Check if you have enough space and the required permissions to write to the temporary directory used by the installer during installation.
We had a similar problem on a UNIX installation which was eventually traced to a non-writable temporary directory that caused the installation to silently fail, which effectively caused the TCP/IP protocol adapter not to be installed.

How do you configure a WCF-SQL adapter to write data from a SQL2012 "always on" database?

Hi All,
I have a BizTalk environment. I have to write the data from BizTalk to the database which is configured using ALWAYS ON availability group.
I use WCF-SQL adapter to write the data. My question is this setup a supported?

The answer is NO.
Refer: Can
I use a BizTalk WCF-SQL send adapter with a SQL 2012 Always on Database?
A snippet quoted below.
In summary (in order of preference):
Disable AlwaysOn Availability Groups / Mirroring on SQL server if you need to connect to this SQL server which has this enabled
Disable transactions and implement logic to be able to handle duplicates .
Disable transactions and handle the duplicates or lost messages with custom logic (e.g. Send twice and compare and implement error handling). You need to write your own DTC handling this which
is probably very complicated.
Disable transactions and live with risk of duplicates or lost messages without handling duplicates.
Refer: SQL Server AlwaysOn feature does not support MSDTC transactions.

Handling JDBC adapter errors in BPM

Hi,
I am using BPM to insert data in SQL server using a snychronous send.However i am not able to trap the adapter errors like server is down or could not insert because of key violation.
Hence i decided to use transport level ack. But i understand that error description is returned in fault messages. Can i use fault messages in BPM???
And also if that is not possible, I would like to know how can i configure alerts in JDBC adapter.
Thanks in advance.

Anand,
I dont think this is possible. Fault Messages should be sent by the Application System back to XI , the Database in our case. AFAIK< the database cannot send back such fault messages and the error message is trapped in the JDBC adapters log. Try using Adapter Engine Alerts and this will cause the Message to be passed to your ALert framework from the adapter.

Bhavesh

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

Loadjava protocol adapter error

Hello all,
I am developing a program using Java Stored Procedures with Oracle 9.2.0.1 using an oracle client and am having difficulty with the loadjava utility.
When attempting to load a class using loadjava I get unresolvable errors no matter what driver I use (thin, oci, oci8). When using the oci or oci8 drivers I get a "protocol adapter" error. When I use the thin driver I get a "null username or password" error even though I specify the username/password in the call.
These are the messages I am receiving through the DOS command prompt:
//using OCI8
P:\>loadjava -v -user username\password HiThere.class
arguments: '-v' 'user' 'username\password' 'HiThere.class'
SQL Error while connecting with oci8 driver to default database: ORA-12560: TNS:
protocol adapter error
//specifying OCI
P:\>loadjava -v -user username\password -oci HiThere.class
arguments: 'v' 'user' 'username\password' 'oci' 'HiThere.class'
SQL Error while connecting with oci8 driver to default database: ORA-12560: TNS:
protocol adapter error
//using thin driver
P:\>loadjava -v -thin -user username\[email protected]:1521:cnfi HiThere.
class arguments: '-v' '-thin' '-user' 'username\[email protected]:1521:cnfi' 'H
iThere.class'
SQL Error while connecting with thin driver to gaia.nfis.org:1521:cnfi: Null user or password not supported in THIN driver
exiting : could not open connection
I can connect to the database using a JDBC connection and the thin driver but have no idea how to get the loadjava command using the thin driver to use the username\password that I provide instead of saying that there cannot be a null username\password.
Any suggestions on how I can get loadjava to connect to Oracle would be much appreciated.
Thankyou,
Matt
ps: I am also having difficulties using the dbms_java.loadjava utility using SQL*Plus (java.security.AccessControlException) which might be resolved through my DBA.

Matt,
This is just a guess, but try using a forward slash ("/") instead of a backslash ("\"), to separate the "username" from the "password", as in:
loadjava -v -thin -user username/[email protected]:1521:cnfi HiThere.classGood Luck,
Avi.

TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error - Of a different sort

Hi ,
Have a unique problem.
System :- Win 2K
I have installed 9iDB & 9iDS. They were working perfectly fine. I was able to connect to DB from forms. But due to some restrictions i had to resort to 6i forms.
Now i installed 6i forms on the same machine. But when i try to connect to DB i get the TNS:Protocol Adapter error. I am sure the instance and the listener is up and running. Because still i am able to connect from 9i forms. The DB name is MYDB.
The error i am getting is :-
========================
Fatal NI connect error 12203, connecting to:

Oracle is a bit touchy with tnsnames.ora spelling. I copied your entry, just changing names :
MYDB =

Did you try copying 9iDS SQLNET.ORA and TNSNAMES.ORA to 6i Home ?
