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.

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.
Hope this help.

ORA-12560 TNS:Protocol Adapter Error and ORA-12557 Error

Hello ,
I have installed Oracle 11.2.0 64 bit database on my Windows 7 ( Home Premium) PC which is also 64 bit. I installed it because I am trying to setup Informatica. Later, I learnt that informatica is 32 bit and can not communicate to Oracle 11.2.0 64 bit database. So after digging through solutions, someone mentioned that I need to install Oracle 11g client 32bit.
I have installed 11g client software successfully now. Here is problem though :
When I launch SQL-Plus from 11g database , it works fine. However I launch SQL-Plus from 32bit client it gives me error as :
Ora-12560 :TNS: Protocol Adapter Error.
So I have been trying to resolve this error. I saw that this question has been posted many many times and have tried many thing as listed below :
1. copy tnsnames.ora from database ( dbhome_1) to client installation ( client_1 ) under ..\network\admin\ --- Didn't work.
2. Set $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_SID environment variable.
Here is interesting fact - If I set $ORACLE_HOME to database path and not client path error changes to :
ORA-12557 TNS: Protocol adapter not loadable.
If I keep $ORACLE_HOME as client path then I get same error as earlier ORA-12560.
3. I have also tried changing $PATH variable. I did set to path containing only database installation, only client installation, both database and client installation with database installation appearing first
But all of these haven't worked.
Can anyone please suggest what I am missing and any further things I could try ?
Thank you in advance !

Thank you in advance !unfortunately, we need to know exactly how you tried to connect with sqlplus when it "worked" and when it "didn't work". The key to the reported error messages is highly dependent on the environment settings AND the specification of the connect string. A copy and paste of the entire command line session would be most helpful.
But again, running on any 'home' edition of windows is not supported.

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

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.

Not able to connect from linux client. Get TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter

Hi,
Details of the configuration :
Server:
RHEL4: 10.2.0.3 Oracle Enterprise Database installed.
SID = orcl, port 1521.
Client:
RHEL4 : 10.2.0.x client installed.
Whenever, I try to connect from Client to server, I get following error:
For tnsping orcl I get following error :
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
I get the same error even, If I do a sqlplus "scott/tiger@orcl" with TNS_ADMIN, ORACLE_HOME everything set correctly.
On the server, I am able to connect to the same db without any problem. I have following env set ORACLE_HOME, TNS_ADMIN and PATH. Here, I am trying to make sure that the sqlplus goes through the listner.
Any help is appreciated. Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks much.
V.Chandrashekar

Ensure your listener is properly configured and started. Check the listener's address and verify you can tnsping it with the tnsping command:
tnsping orcl
On the other side, make sure your tnsnames.ora file on the client side has properly configured the address where the listener is located.

ERROR:
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in
connect descriptor
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:

Unable to create database due to ORA-12560, TNS protocol adapter error

Hello,
I'm trying to create an 8.1.7.0 database on a W2k server, but it is failing because as soon as svrmgrl is launched, I get an ORA-12560, TNS: protocol adapter error:

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.
regards,
Tarisa.
