Tns remote listener errors

Hi,
I'm in the process of transferring a single instance to rac, and a bit stuck with the remote_listener parameter. As per the oracle guide I have setup the tnsnames.ora as follows:
$ more tnsnames.ora
LISTENERS_S78LIVE =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = eus3300106-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = eus3300107-vip)(PORT = 1521))
S78LIVE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = eus3300106-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = eus3300107-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = S78LIVE)
(FAILOVER_MODE =
(TYPE = SELECT)
(METHOD = BASIC)
(RETRIES = 200)
(DELAY = 5)
S78LIVEA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = eus3300106-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = S78LIVE)
(INSTANCE_NAME = S78LIVEA)
S78LIVEB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = eus3300107-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = S78LIVE)
(INSTANCE_NAME = S78LIVEB)
when I tnsping, I get the following error
$ tnsping LISTENERS_S78LIVE

also if I put the name *.remote_listener='LISTENERS_S78LIVE'
oracle refuses to start up saying error not resolvable.
I can ping the host??
Anybody had the same problem, or is my tnsnames wrong.

Hi, I have redone the file, still the sma eproblem:

Connect to Oracle through ODBC - TNS: No Listener Error

Hi All,
I've been trying to chase this problem down for over a month now and I have had no luck. When I try to connect to an Oracle server through MS Access I get the TNS: No Listener error. The kicker is when I go to the odbc data source administrator in windows I am able to connect to the oracle server. My computer is windows 2007 and I have Oracle 11.2 installed. Could anyone assist?
When I type lsnrctl start in the command prompt it says it has been already started.
Here is my tnsnames.ora:
ORMANRPT.WORLD=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL=TCP)
(HOST=bspz1565.bhdc.att.com)
(PORT=1521)
(CONNECT_DATA=

Here is my sqlnet.ora:
AUTOMATIC_IPC = OFF
TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT = OFF
names.directory_path = (TNSNAMES)
names.default_domain = world
name.default_zone = world
names.default_domain=world
here is my listener.ora

I suggest you move, remove, rename, delete or otherwise move the listener.ora file out of the way.
listener.ora is NOT required to start or utilize the listener
open Command Window after doing as directed above then issue the OS commands below
lsnrctl stop
lsnrctl start
lsnrctl status
# now wait 60+ seconds before issuing the next command below
lsnrctl service
COPY the results from all above, then PASTE all results back here.

TNS-12541 TNS: No Listener error HELP!!!

Hello,
We have installed Oracle 8.0.5 on Windows 2000.
Oracle was well installed (no errors) but sometimes we can connect to the database (via SQL+ or by a tnsping on the client), sometimes we cannot and it shows above message (TNS-12541 TNS: No Listener). That is very strange: the listener do really exist and is running. (Service is started). I tried to stop and start manually the listener (tnslnr80) but the 'start' failed (it was too long so I killed the command).
Can someone help us to solve this or to understand what happens?
Thx a lot

Could you please advise..
Regards,
MohammedIf the client is on the same machine as the database, then you don't have ORACLE_SID set.
More likely the database is on a different server, you have to specify 'sqlplus sys/pswd@dbname'.
And your db will need to be configured to allow remote sysdba authorization, which is not a good idea from a security perspective.

ORA-12541: TNS:no listener error from client mechine

We have oracle 11g server from onsite and I am trying to connect from offshore client.But I am getting error
From SQL plus i am getting the error,
ORA-12541: TNS:no listener
and from SQL Developer I am getting the error,
IO Error:The network adapter could not establish the connection
I am able to Telnet the host with proper port.Onsite peoples able to connect the database from any client using the same TNS names configration I am using.
What are the possibilities to get this errors ?
Please guide me on this.

Hi
Thanks for reply.I checked with onsite DBA for listener and it is up.If you have an on-site DBA why aren't you working with him to solve the problem?
Since you assert that other client machines are able to connect to the database, the issue must be with your own setup. I strongly suspect your tnsnames has a bad entry. Please compare it to the same file from a working client. Also, show us the contents of your tnsnames.ora file.

TNS:no listener error with dblink

I am able to connect to oracle database 10g machine from other machine with oracle 8i then I have create dblink in 8i machine but when I am accessing 10G database it is giving me error
for example select count(*) from t_cons@orcl
ORA-12541: TNS:no listener
is it a version issue or something else?

Thanks Dushyant.
following is the result of query
SQL> select value from v$parameter where name='global_names';
VALUE
TRUE
SQL> select global_name from global_name;
GLOBAL_NAME
JBPONM.US.ORACLE.COM
one thing I have noticed that when I am connecting to database server with same
hostname & dbname then there is no problem but when hostname & dbname is
different then it is not connecting through dblink.
I have gone through oracle doc but no where it is mentioned that both should be same.

TNS no listener error when internet is enabled

Hi
When my internet connection is enabled and if i try to connect to the database, I get the No listener error.
Although I'm able to connect to database when there is no internet I find it hard to run my forms 9i as they run on Internet Explorer and only when there is internet connection.
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance
rishank

I think, that your listener listen to only one address.
Try to edit tnsnames.ora to replace you hostname with local network address.

"TNS:no listener" error

Hi,
I have got Oracle 9iR2 on Redhat 8 I have installed Oracle 9i client software on Windows 2000.
Using the Oracle Net Configuration Assistant I am trying to set up my connection to my Linux server. When I com to test the connection I get
CONNECTING ORA-12541: TNS:no listener
The listner is started on the linux box so I am a bit stuck at the moment
I would be very greatful if someone who has set up a linux server/windows client before could let me know what they did or if anyone knows of any documentation that would be a good starting point
many thanks
James Norton

Check the SID you configured in the client with <oracle_home>\network\admin\tnsnames.ora.

I am getting an error ORA 12514 TNS: no listener error

Please help me out with this error as i try to access Enterprise Manager Console or any other module with SYSTEM and MANAGER as the password i get this error.

Few obvious question... please check and revert back
1. Have you configured the TNSNAMES.ORA correctly on the client machine. Please check the hostname. If you have not given the IP of DB server then make sure the IP address is there in the "hosts" file, so that name can be resolved
2. Is the listener-up on DB server and configured on the same port that you have mentioned in TNSNAMES.ORA?
3. Is the database registered in the listener?
You can use net-assistant to check and configure the same.

ORA-12541 ...
- The client is requesting connection to a service.
- The service is derived from the alias used in the connection. For example, @orcl ... orcl = alias.
- The alias is used to look up the host, listener port and service in the tnsnames.ora
The listener is on the same machine as the database. The listener must be up and listening on the port the client want to use.
If the listener is not up, there wil be an "ORA-12541: TNS: no listener" error;
If the listener is listening on the wrong port, there wil be an "ORA-12541: TNS: no listener" error;
If the client is asking for the wrong port, there wil be an "ORA-12541: TNS: no listener" error.
To start the listener in Windows, go to the Control Panel > Administration Tools > Services and ensure the Ora?????Listener is started.
To verify the listener is up, open a command box, and type 'lsnrctl status'
To see what the client is expecting, on the client machine open a command box, and type 'tnsping {alias}' where you replace {alias} with the alias to be used in the connection.

Using a DNS address in tnsnames.ora and a hardcoded IP address in listener.ora or a DNS name not translating to the same IP address the tnsnames.ora DNS translates to, is a known source for ORA-12541.
The listener tries to establish communications to the client, using the IP address it gets from listener.ora or by calling nslookup.
If they don't match: kabloey.
Been there, done that, and a little searching would have helped you out.

9.2.0.1.0 - OEM - XP home - ORA-12541 TNS: no listener

I have installed 9i (9.2.0.1.0) on Windows XP home edition and can connect to database with SQL Plus but get ORA-12541 TNS: no listener error when I try to connect with OEM. I saw someone else had this problem in Febuary and he sadly got no replies, hopefully someone will be able to help me (us) out.

I guess you now have answers.
1. Check if listener is running
lsnrctl status <listener name>
2. Check port number and SID used
3. Check TNSNAMES for correct Port and SID name
4. Check error details in $HOME/network/log
