TNS -12650 Protocol Adaptor error

Hello everyone,
I am facing TNS-12560 error while connecting to oracle server from client side.
I am using VMWare workstation for practice. On one I install Oracle server on linux 4.0 & on other I install Oracle Client on Windows –XP .My server IP address is 192.168.73.129 on which the Oracle server is install & 192.168.73.130 on which client software installed. I am able to ping both machine from each other.
But when I use tnsping command I am getting the TNS-12650 error
When I use tnsping 192.168.73.129 I get
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adaptor error
My Oracle Server tnsmaes.ora is as follows:-
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File:

And my client side tnsnames.ora is as follows:-

(CONNECT_DATA =

When I use tnsping 192.168.73.129 from my client I got TNS-12650 TNS:Protocal adaptor error.
Please help me out to solve this problem.

In the same folder of your client machine, check to make sure your SQLNET.ORA specifies that it's using TNSNAMES.

Oracle 9i Database gives the error "ORA-12560: TNS: Protocol Adaptor Error"

Hi
I am working on Oracle9i Database, but from few days there is a problem, I can not enter in the database using SQL*PLUS or any other tool. When I give the user name and password it give the error message, that is given below:
"ORA-12560: TNS: Protocol Adaptor Error"
Please help me regarding this error.
Gul Bahar Oad

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 ?

TNS Protocol Adaptor Error

Hi all, I need your help.
I'm using forms 10g on an oralce 10g database, the program is successfully compiled but when running it, it gives me the 12560 error "TNS: Protocol Adaptor Error"
does anybody have any idea?

Hi ,
The Oracle Doc says to take the following action in this situation:
'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'.

Hello,
You may set the ORACLE_SID first:
set ORACLE_SID=XE
sqlplus user/passwordElse, check for the Service OracleServiceXE in the Control Pannel. It should be started.

TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error TNS-00530: Protocol adapter error

Unable to start listener service.
Running Oracle Database 11gr2 on Windows 7.
I just installed Oracle with the "install software only" option.
Already set up the instance, the database, the dictionary views, etc.
Created tsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora and listener.ora as shown below.
Before installing Oracle I followed the instruction on Oracle
documentation to install a Loopback Adapter.
It is set up as the primary adapter as indicated on the
instructions. The name is "gabylan" (previously the computer
name was "P4". I set up the "hosts" file as indicated, the oracle_hostname
variable, etc. as you will see below. I don't know if it's important to "uncomment"
the line on the "hosts" file for the "localhost" entry, I left it
as it was originally.
Services currently in "Started" Status:
OracleServiceorcl
Oracle orcl VSS Writer Service
OracleMTSRecoveryService
OracleOraDb11g_home1ClrAgent

Below is a summary of the error message and some information
about my system setup to help you diagnose my problem.

[TNS-12560: Protocol Adapter Error] after every 48 Hours

Dear All,
Our company encountered a very strange Oracle database issue, here is the details:
Environment
1. Dell 2950 Server with Windows Server 2003, Oracle 9i 9.2.0.1 and WebLogic Platform Server 8.1 SP3 installed;
2. Two databases on the Oracle, one is called FAX and it is a schema located in the original DB database; another one is called EIP, it is a new database created by IT staff;
3. Two applications installed on this server, the first one is a Visual C++ developed Avaya Call Routing system (BCCS), this system will query data from the EIP database; Another one is a WebLogic and JAVA based system (EIP), users access this system by using IE at client computer and this system also uses the EIP database;
4. We have a standalone fax-out server with faxboard installed and used to send fax, this server uses the FAX database;
Issue
1. Before Jun.6, everything is OK;
2. At Jun.6 night, we installed two new applications on two new server, these applications will read and write data to the EIP database via network;
3. Jun.9 12:30, we found the BCCS cannot connect to the database, error message is [TNS-12560: Protocol Adapter Error], we checked and found all Oracle's services are running properly including the TNSListener;
4. We reboot the server and then everything is OK;
5. Jun.12 10:41, Jun.14 12:46 and Jun.16 20:51, same issue occurred again, we simply reboot the server and everything is OK
It is very interesting that we found the issue always occur after 48~55 hours we reboot the server, but cannot find more useful information; there is also no failed information in the Oracle alert log.
Please share some ideas with me, thanks a lot.

Thanks for reply. Answer to your questions:
1. This issue occurs on application which were installed on the computer with Oracle installed, and there is no firewall on this computer, so I believe that it is not related network.
2. Please let me know how to check the error stack and turn on tracing.
3. ORA file info:

Are your oracle services logging on as localhost? cause if they
are that may be your problem. change the log on user to your
local administrator with their password (i.e.
administrator/******). Oracle DB and the other services have a
problem starting up with the localhost. they appear to startup
but don't actually startup.

Protocol Adaptor Error while creating a DB manually

Hi Friends,
In my pc already a DB is running (DBCA created db). Now I want to create a new one manually by running "create database..." script. I try to login "sys as sysdba" (after setting oracle_sid=db1) but it is giving the "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error" error. where as if I try to connect the existing db then it is getting connected. It is oracle 9i and windows XP os. Pls help me out.
Thnx in Advance...

You have to create a new service for the new database.
To craete databse manually:
1)create pfile for the new database.
Create it at default location.You can copy the pfile of existing database and modify it .
2)create service
ORADIM -NEW -SID db1 pfile "define pfile location"
3)conn /as sysdba
4)next you start the instance in nomount mode
startup nomount pfile ='your pfile location'
5)Create database command.

Tns-12560 protocol adapter error linux

I m running two independent oracle 11g on red hat 5 in vmware workstation 7 which is sitting on window xp where i m running 10g.
I was facing a lot of networking when using tnsping. during my search i found that SUlinux and firewall was on which i turned off.
My problem solved.
My question is Whether it is feasible in industrial environment to turn off the Firewall and security of Linux.
My second problem is:
I did everything using orapwd on oracle 11g on red hat. .
but i m getting the same result
select * from v$pwfile_users;
no rows selected
My warmest Regard.

My question is Whether it is feasible in industrial environment to turn off the Firewall and security of Linux.When you say "security of linux" are you referring to SELinux? You can turn it off, or set it to a less restrictive mode. As for the firewall, there is no need to turn it off, just configure it correctly.

We have no way of knowing exactly what "everything using orapwd" means on your system. You are asking us to explain something we cannot see.

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:
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=BEQ)(PROGRAM=oracle80)(ARGV0=oracle80ORCL)(ARGS='(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)))')))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=ORCL)(CID=(PROGRAM=C:\Oracle6i\BIN\PLUS80W.EXE)(HOST=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)(USER=Myself))))

TNS-00530: Protocol adapter error
nt secondary err code: 0
nt OS err code: 0
===============================
Can someone please guide me as to how i can connect to my 9iDB from 6iforms.
Thanks & Regards,
Anandh

Oracle is a bit touchy with tnsnames.ora spelling. I copied your entry, just changing names :
MYDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
$ sqlplus scott/tiger@mydb

ERROR:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service nameThen I change MYDB entry, just adding some spaces :
MYDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)

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