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'.

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 ?

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 -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

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

TNS: Protocol adaptor not loadable

Hi,
I am facing TNS: Protocol adaptor not loadable error when i am trying to login from SQLPLUS.
But from the command prompt when I open sqlplus I am able to login. Also I am able to TNSPING my service (PROD).
I am using Oracle 11g, This was installed along with EBS 12.1.1 My OS is Windows Server 2003 SP1.
All my environment variables are properly set.
I am unable to think of possible reasons.
Thank You,
Niranjan.

All my environment variables are properly set.Are you sure? Seems like you are "mixing homes". Does this EBS have an Oracle Client inside perhaps?
ProcessMonitor is a good tool, with which you could find out from where files actually are loaded.

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.

"TNS: Protocol adapter error" while creating a database

Hi All,
I´m new to Oracle and trying to create a database.
We use Oracle 8.1.7
I´m using the Database Configuration Assistant. The problem is when creating the database I get the error:
TNS-12560 TNS: Protocol adapter error
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Carlos.

Do you have ORACLE_HOME and/or ORACLE_SID defined in the environment which are different than the settings for the new database that you are trying to create?

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.

Thx.

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>.

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.
