ERROR:

i don't know what to do, please somebody give me a hand

You said "when i tried tu connect to db with the sqlplus ..."
But you seem to forget to specify which database instance to connect to. Like this:
$ sqlplus <user>@<tns name>
If you have oerr command installed, it can explain the ORA error for you.
$ oerr ora 12545

same code is working when i used in the standalone java program.
Oracle 8i database and WLS 6.0 are on the same UNIX machine.

The problem is solved after exprting the parameter ORACLE_SID=<database_name>
in Weblogic startup script.
thank u for the suggestions.

Hi Joe,
I have checked the ORACLE_HOME parameter. There was a differnce. Ichanged to
/oracle/app/product/8.1.7
Now i am getting different exception. But still the standalone codeis working.
any clues why I am getting this exception. I will send the code andthe weblogic
properties file for reference if u need.Good. No, I don't need it. Now make sure the library path that the OS
uses to find
Oracle libraries, and our driver libraries etc., is in the same order
for the
server as for the shell that is successful on it's own. Make sure your
Oracle
client stuff is ahead of any weblogic libraries.

The environment for the server probably doesn't have the same ORACLE_HOME

SQLPlus COPY error: ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE

This is what I'm trying to do:
I'm logged into an Oracle 8.1.6 database on a Windows 2000 Professional box and trying to copy data and tables from an Oracle 7.3.4 database on an HP/UX box.
I log into my 8.1.6 SQLPlus as:
scott/tiger@testdb
Then I run the following:
SQL> set copycommit 1
SQL> set arraysize 1000
SQL> copy from user/user1@devp1 -
create reps_t -
using -
select * from reps_tThis is my error:
ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE
Can someone give me a better understand how SQLPlus COPY works and give me an idea how to locate the problems.
Thanks,
Laith E.H.

I think this combination user/user1@devp1
is not ok.
U can get good material about copy command
from technet itself. Just search for Copy

Ora-12545 strange error

Dear friends
I have one strange error in Oracle 8.1.7 , Windows NT server. We have 4 databases in a same box. All are working fine till yesterday. Today morning I am facing this problem. I can not connect to one database out of four from any client. Getting error "ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
Other 3 databases in the same server I can connect from client.
In the server I can connect all four databases without any problem.
I am using tnsping <servicename> from the client, is getting OK.
I Observed the tnsnames.ora in the client , nothing found strange. Because all client machines have this problem.
Pleas advise?

I did both your suggestions
First of all all clients are working properly till yesterday without any problem. Today I faced this problem in all clients around 10 clients same time. I feel it is may be Host machine database /network setting problem. How we can trace?
When I restart Listner using lsnrctl command in server , then I can connect from client using SQLplus but a while only. When I Establish another connection in the same client or from any other client, it won't allow me. Also , connected session getting error.
When I issue lsnrctl status command in server it is displaying like this. Maxnew is the one that have problem.

Error while installing Oracle 8i on RHEL 3.0, ORA-12545

Hi,
I am trying to install oracle 8.1.7 on redhat EL 3.0. Earlier i installed the same oracle i.e 8.1.7 on redhat 8.0/9.0 and it installed sucesfully. The proceudre
i follow for installtion was :
####### some settings
groupadd dba
groupadd oinstall
groupadd oracle
useradd -g dba -G oinstall,oracle -m oracle
passwd oracle
mkdir /ora8
cd /ora8
mkdir -p m01 m02 m03/oradata/ora8
chown -R oracle.dba /ora8
###### login as oracle. changes in .bash_profile(setting up of parameters)
export ORACLE_BASE=/ora8/m01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/8.1.7
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib
export ORACLE_SID=perfdb
export ORACLE_TERM=vt100
export ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data
umask 022
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
##### thereafter i run installer
./runInstaller
It goes smoothly and later it gives linking error. I ignore them at this stage.
#### thereafter I apply the patch
tar xzf /tmp/glibc2.1.3_stub.tgz
./setup_stubs
#### Therafter i run dbassist and I create the db and all went well.
When i followed the same procedure in RHEL 3.0 it goes smooth till applying patch glibc2.1.3_stub.tgz but thereafter when i try to create db using dbassist it gives me error like :
ORA-12545 Connect failed because target host or object does not exist.
Even if i tried to run svrmgrl it gives me error
:ORA-12545 Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
Could anyone help me in resolving that ? the same installation procedure works well for Redhat 8.0/9.0
Thanks
Harsh Bhatia

DBCA calls svrmgrl.exe in order to make a startup nomount of the new database and svrmgrl.exe fails during the hostname resolution.
Try to give ipaddress rather than hostname in the tnsnames.ora file.

8.1.5 installs on Redhat 6.1, but ORA-12545 error

I carefully followed all of the installation instructions, and the installation procedure seemed to go as expected. But when I attempt to create a database with dbassist, I get an error:
ORA-12545 Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
Note: This is not a networked machine, but there are two network cards installed in the machine. The hostname is currently set to "localhost.localdomain".
Any ideas?

ORA-12545 error after changing the host name as IP address in Tnsnames.ora

HI,
I tried to connect PHP and oracle in Red Hat linux. I got error ORA-12545 after changing the host name as IPAddress in Tnsnames.ora file. In sqlnet.ora file also i have entry for tnsnames in Directory_Path. I struggled so much but i couldnt solve that. Please give me ur valuable suggestions....

12545, 00000, "Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
// *Cause: The address specified is not valid, or the program being
// connected to does not exist.
// *Action: Ensure the ADDRESS parameters have been entered correctly; the
// most likely incorrect parameter is the node name. Ensure that the
// executable for the server exists (perhaps "oracle" is missing.)
// If the protocol is TCP/IP, edit the TNSNAMES.ORA file to change the
// host name to a numeric IP address and try again.
Seems you specified wrong IP address.

What version of gcc are you using?
Check out this link: http://www.redhat.com/archives/taroon-list/2004-June/msg00030.html
All 8i and 9i releases are built with 2.9x versions of gcc, so you might have to downgrade gcc in order to get 8i running.

Try this

Please advise me why this error is coming and how to solve the problem.

Hi Kiran,
Your oracle client on the managed server has not been
set up properly. Make sure you have identical tnsnames.ora
files both on Admin and managed servers.

I have a funny feeling that the problem lies with either:
PROTOCOL=beq
and/or
ARGV0=oracleMSRAC
I have tried everything to remedy this, this is why i am now turning to you guys.
Any and all help is always greatly appreciated.

Hi Guys,
Thank you both for your responses, my findings are as follows:
1. HOST=X.X.COM, ensure host is reachable : PING works and host(s) are reachable.
2. In RAC Env, ensure TNS Name is correctly spelled, spelling fine, i can connect with the tns name (is TNS name same as SERVICE_NAME?) by: sqlplus 'user/user@racenv'; but my efforts still will not allow me to use:
sqlplus 'user/user' it tells me that the host or object is does not exist, does this refer to the actual physical machine or the service name, or the instance name?
All host entries in my tnsnames.ora file refer to the vip addresses of both servers holding the rac installation, and both are resolved just fine, testing with ping; any other way to test this?
tnsnames file contains CONNECTION strings in the following order (does the listener entry need to be in the file? on the machine that i am trying to connect from?):
LISTENER_ORCLTELE =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 172.16.3.9)(PORT = 1521))
ORCLTELE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 172.16.3.9)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = orcltele)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC2))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
I tried removing all entries but the entry for MSRAC, but still no joy:
MSRAC =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 172.16.3.12)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 172.16.3.13)(PORT = 1521))
(LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = MSRAC)
(failover_mode =
(type=select)
(method=basic)
(retries=180)
(delay=5))
Thanks again,
Robert..
In the sqlnet.log file the error is as follows:
Fatal NI connect error 12545, connecting to:

It mentions PROTOCOL=BEQ, this should be TCP, is there a way to enforce TCP or disable BEQ??

Cannot connect to DB from remote computer (ORA-12545)

Hello all,
Please help, I am stumped. I am trying to connect to a database located at my work from at home.
I am running into the following issue (see command and error below):
ansichart@ansivm:~/src/perl$ sqlplus aspxdba/********@aspxp2
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.3.0 Production on Thu Jul 18 21:15:09 2013
Copyright (c) 1982, 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved.
ERROR:
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
Here is my tnsnames.ora file (I have the service_name censored out for privacy reasons):
ansichart@ansivm:~/src/perl$ cat $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
aspxp2 =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = orarac9-scan)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = *****************)(UR=A)
I have verified that I can establish a TCP connection to this DB server on the port specified, using the same info from the TNSnames.ora file (see below):
ansichart@ansivm:~/src/perl$ nmap -sT -p 1521 orarac9-scan
Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-07-18 20:53 CDT
Nmap scan report for orarac9-scan (10.1.13.115)
Host is up (0.0088s latency).
PORT     STATE SERVICE
1521/tcp open oracle
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.09 seconds
ansichart@ansivm:~/src/perl$
I have another terminal opened up to a server at work and I can connect to the DB with sqlplus just fine. I verified that the record for this database on the tnsnames.ora file is the same as it is at work.
In conclusion, I can connect to the Database at work, but I cannot at home, even though I am using the same connection information and verified that port 1521 is accessible on this Database server from at home. So why can't I establish a DB connection?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ben

This simply means "hostname unknown". In other words, the hostname used for the connection could not be resolved to an IP address.
I have verified that I can establish a TCP connection to this DB server on the port specified, using the same info from the TNSnames.ora file (see below):
You are verifying hostname orarac9-scan only. You are not verifying that the hostname supplied by the Oracle SCAN Listener can be resolved by your platform.
As you are connecting to a SCAN listener, it will do its magic (load balancing/round robin/whatever) and return a redirect to your client driver - telling it where to find the service name the client requested.
So your client driver gets a hostname and port in return. It then attempts to connect to that to establish your Oracle client-server session. If the RAC has been setup with the typical RAC hostnames, your client will get hostnames like orarac9-vip1 and orarac9-vip2 returned. Likely as FQDN too.
This means your platform needs to be able to resolve these hostnames. It does not. Thus the error.
In your platform's /etc/hosts file, define the complete list of RAC hostnames (SCAN, Public and VIP hostnames).

ORA-12545 .... host or object does not exi

Hi there.
Im tiered from that Trying install 8.1.7 on Red Hat 7.0. Not working. (I read all from what I cud from this group, but still dont know what to do )
I installed glibc 2.1.3. After that I was able to create a database. I can open it, connect using sqlplus or sqlnet and netca on server side. But as soon as I run Net8 Easy config and try connect I couldnt do it. When I try do it, I receive error:
ORA-12545
The test did not succeed.
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
There may be an error in the fields entered
or the server may not be ready for a connection.
You can check the server and retry, or continue.
Im stack. Where my problem? Network? Adapter? Listener? Anything else ????
Server side? Client side?
Anybody have any idea about this case?
Thanks a lot.

Well, i have the same problem and i believe the trouble is due to your instance name is diferent from your hostname.
you can edit the sqlnet.ora file and comment the names.default_domain , check you do insert the listener_name service in the /etc/services file
and retry the operation
After this, however i can keep just a few connections and the problem is still present, I think the problem is the listener but i don't have the solution on it.
good luck.

Oracle RM failing to connect: ORA-12545

Hi,
I am trying to run my application which uses Oracle client 8.0.6 on NCR MPRAS.
I am connecting to DB version. 8.1.7 running on Solaris box
Following are working fine for me which means there is no problem with TNSNAMES.ORA:
1) TNSPING
2) SQLPLUS
3) Applications using embedded SQL calls
But my recent application which uses the Resource Manager ORACLE_XA is failing at xa_open call. It give the error ora-12545.
Am I missing something here? Please help.
Vikram

I don't know Crystal Reports and what it sends to and requests from the database, but that's the formal description of this error:
Error: ORA 8001
Text: maximum number of sequences per session exceeded
Cause: An operation requested a resource that was unavailable.
The maximum number of user sequences per session is specified by the
initialization parameter DC_SEQUENCES.
When this maximum is reached, no more requests are processed.
Action: Try the operation again in a few minutes.
If this error occurs often, shut down Oracle, increase the
DC_SEQUENCES parameter in the initialization parameter file, and
restart Oracle.
