I run the command TNSPING 192.168.1.250 as database is installed in the ip address, and is showing the follwoing error
TNS-12535 : TNS : OPERATION TIME OUT. Is there any way to fix the fault?

DB link working but tnsping fails,how?

Hi
I have DB link defined in Oracle EBS DB 10.2.0.3. When i query the table using db link, it is working. But tnsping is failing with this error --TNS-12535: TNS:operation timed out. When the network is not established between our oracle server and SQL server database, how come the DB links works?
Any help highly appreciated.
Regards

Hi
We have 3 different servers for the DB links. When i was querying with one of our data center server (network ok), it is ok. But the other two servers it is failing. Sorry, mistaken.
Regards

When turning on Advanced Security Network Encryption tnsping fails

Hi people,
I'm installing Advanced Security Network Encryption in my server (RHEL 3), I've configured my sqlnet.ora as follows:
SQLNET.CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_SERVER = REQUIRED
SQLNET.CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_TYPES_SERVER = MD5
SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_TYPES_SERVER= (RC4_256)
SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_SERVER = REQUIRED
SQLNET.CRYPTO_SEED = "abcdefg"
After that, tnsping do not work anymore, I'm getting TNS-03505 - "Failed to resolve name".
If I remove Adv. Security configuration tnsping become normal.
Do anybody knows what can it be?
Thanks in Advance
André Teixeira

Are you running tnsping from the server to itself? Or from the client? Has Advanced Security been configured on the client?

TNSPING fail

Hi, I am trying to set up a link from oracle 8.1.7 to sql2000 on different win2000 servers.
I have set up an ODBC connection and if I test this with MS Access on same machine as Oracle server I am able to link to tables on SQL server.
This ODBC connection only works if I use port 1433.
Then I edited tnsnames.ora & listener.ora in Oracle_Home/network/admin
192.168.15.7 is ip of sql machine and redrouter is sql sid name, when i try tnsping I get:

What is the error that you are getting?

Tnsping from any client to new server fails

Hi there,
This was my first oracle 10g install and everything seemed to be working but now its not. I just installed a 10g server and added it's IP to my tnsnames.ora files on my other computers. I can ping it regularly just fine but tnsping fails. Any ideas? Our network has a subnetmask of 255.255.255.192, could that cause a problem?

Thanks, I already have the listener and database starting and the environmental variables being set in a .bash file (not my idea but I'll change that later).

It is pointless, and just adds to the confusion, to name your listener anything other than the default name of LISTENER
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
Client requests to 'localhost' (or its ip address of 127.0.0.1) never leave the client machine. Hence, any listener configured for that address will never receive a request from any other machine.

You've thrown out a huge amount of detailed data, but showing a variety of errors, and combinations. Overall, I get the impression you are confusing remote vs. local connections. Please read the following, then come back and let's focus on one error at a time.

Hi ram
Just brief ur Env please ..
If you are receiving the ora-12535 error from tnsping as well as sqlplus, the client box is probably unable to find the listener for whatever reason. If the listener is definitely running and you are able to ping the listener's address from the client box but still can't tnsping it, you are probably running into a firewall issue.
The reason for this is that with tnsping failing you are probably timing out before the connection gets to the listener. You can verify that the listener is running by checking the status in lsnrctl or doing a loopback connection through it. You can verify that the listener's address is visible to the remote box by pinging it from the remote box. Firewalls generally filter by port number so this is the next logical thing to check. If the remote connection passes through a firewall and the listener's port has not been opened up you will see this error.

Could not connect to db using connectring from the server as different user

Oracle Binary is installed under "oracle" user. if we login using different os user, we could not connect using connectr string.
we set all env variables including TNS_ADMIN.
tnsping fails with "TNS-03505: Failed to resolve name"

There is not problem in the tnsnames configuration. Because if I login as oracle then I can connect to the db using connectring. Developers are not able to connect from the server(Developer have unix account because they are loading data from sql*loader).

Multiple listener

hi,
I hav one doubt regarding listener .question is,
is it possible to run more than one listener at a time?
so far i know is only one listener can be run at a time and can listen for more than one database.
But in the document itz given that "multiple listeners can also listen on behalf of a single database to perform load balancing".so i didnt understand at this point.....
so is it possible to run more than one listener.
can any one explain me abt this plz?
With Regards
Boo

Forms using 9i client

I am looking at upgrading our clients to get around GPF's
generated by the changes MSIE 5.5 makes to the PC's IP stack. If
I remove IE 5.5, I can connect -- when I install it, tnsping
fails, as does just about everything else.
Our current application launches through a form using the 16 bit
forms runtime f45run.exe. I read that there are few changes in
forms in the 9i client, but when I installed the 9i client, I do
not see this executable. I have also read that you can use a 32
bit executable, ifrun60.exe to do the same job -- this also was
no included on the install.
What am I doing wrong? Where are these executables to be found,
and will they fix my issue?

Sporadically (although it is quite often) TNS-12541: TNS:no listener

Hi,
im struggling with a listener issue. I have several Oracle/SAP environments i am responsible for. Most of them run fine but on some i get the error: TNS-12541: TNS:no listener. On one of them this occurs quite a lot actually.
So what is the case?
Im running Oracle 10.2.04 on windows 2003, of course the listener is running (DUH). Also the tnsnames.ora sqlnet.ora and listener.ora are defined properly. Most of the cases it is not even causing issues (since it SAP is running on top of it). However some actions do start a process outside the SAP instance, like applying a SAP transport. And on those cases sometimes I get the above mentioned error.
So I got suspicious and started a tnsping in a loop. It turns out the 12541 pops up quite regularly, enough to make me worried. The frequency change from several times a minute to once every couple of minutes.
It doesn’t seems to be an network issue since a ping to wherever always goes fine.
So I turned on tracing (in the listener.ora) on to level ADMIN, turns out there are no trace entries from the failed tnsping. I moved up the level to SUPPORT. Same, no trace entries, there is a time gap on the moments that tnsping fails. The same counts for the listener.log…no logging of the failed occurrences.
Then I added a R3trans –d in the loop. Of course this check also fails every now and then and the following info I find in the sqlnet.log
Fatal NI connect error 12541, connecting to:
(DESCRIPTION=(SDU=32768)(ADDRESS=(COMMUNITY=SAP.WORLD)(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=prd01)(PORT=1527))(CONNECT DATA=(SID=PRD)(GLOBALNAME=PRD.WORLD)(CID=(PROGRAM=I:\usr\sap\PRD\SYS\exe\run\R3trans.exe)(HOST=PRD 01)(USER=prdadm))))

Some things I am wondering about, although I don’t think they are related to the problem:
-should the parameter DEFAULT_SDU_SIZE be defined in the sqlnet.ora as well?
-CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER is obsolete I read since Oracle 9i?
-AUTOMATIC_IPC is also obsolete?
My next step would be to make a client and server trace (TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT, TRACE_LEVEL_SERVER in sqlnet.ora)
Im wondering if I should experiment with the following parameters:
SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT (in sqlnet.ora) (120?)
INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_ (in listener.ora) (120?)
QUEUESIZE (in listener.ora) (although I don’t think that would do anything here since it should more solve issues like simultaneous logon of many processes to the database…which is not the case in a SAP environment)
Any ideas/clues? thanks in advance!

The error, in technical terms, means that the client used a socket connect() call to connect to a network listener endpoint (port, protocol and IP) - and the connection was refused as the endpoint does not exist. In other words, no server process is running a socket listen() call on that endpoint.
With respect to the Listener, it means that the Listener quite likely is not running.
With your testing, you need to determine whether that Listener is up and running at the time that the client gets the connection refused (no listener) error.
It sounds like your Listener is cycling/restarting every so often. Do not use Windows as a server o/s, so I'm not aware of any specific issues on the Windows side with Oracle Listeners... and how the NT services daemon act wrt to the listener (e.g. dependencies exist and if a server is restarted that the listener depends on, it will also restart). Perhaps IP DHCP leases expiring regularly?
What does the Event log say? If WebDAV/ftp ports configured for the database instance? If so, test these ports too at the time the 1521/tcp connection to the server is failing.

Nslookup fails were as tnsping works - Oracle Client on Linux 4.0

Hello Gurus,
I am able to connect to Oracle DB on the Linux server and not from Oracle client on Linux box. I have installed Oracle Client windows version on my laptop and same release and version for Linux on Linux box.
When I try to connect to the DB from Oracle Client installed on Linux box give me ORA-012545:Connect failed because target host or object does not exists.
I have tried tnsping and the server name (hostname) ,IP and DB of the server it works.
When I tried nslookup servername (hostname) , IP and DB it fails.
Anyone over there please help me out. This is something silly happening works on Windows Oracle client and not on Linux Oracle Client. One thing to do add Linux Oracle Client has Virtual IP to it. ITs host file has an entry for local host as follows : 127.0.0.1 localhost.local.domain localhost.
Also when I tried to create netservice names using netca it's just clean.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance
Thanks
Shiva
