Urgent!!!  ERROR: ORA-12560  TNS: protocol adapter error

Recently we tried to install a new product with a new dataabse instance. Since doing this SQLPLUS replies with:
ERROR: ORA-12560
TNS: protocol adapter error
I have looked at my tnsnames.ora and listener.ora and everything looks fine. I am hoping someone here can shed some light on this for me... Is it possible something got corrupted?
Here is my file settings...

  • ERROR:ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

    I am using Win XP Pro. in my PC. I just installed Oracle 9i. When I put in my
    user-name and password to run SQL+ 9.0.1 it gives me the following error
    message : ERROR:ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
    I am new to Oracle. Please give me the steps how to fix this error to be
    able to run SQL+.
    Many thanks

    When starting server manager the following error is generated:
    ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error occurred
    Cause:
    Oracle classify this as a 'generic protocol adapter error'. In my experience it indicates that Oracle client does not know what instance to connect to or what TNS alias to use.
    Possible Remedies:
    * If running on the server (or workstation) that is running the database (i.e. if the database is local to the machine) then try explicitly setting 'ORACLE_SID'. e.g.
    set ORACLE_SID=<sid>
    and then try again. If this works then consider whether to make the change permanent by specifying it as a system variable.
    FOR RUN THIS SID PLEASE REFER IT
    Go to command prompt
    C:\Document and settings\ORANGE> cd\
    C:\> set oracle_sid=<DB name>
    e.g C:\> set oracle_sid=<rajesh> {press enter}
    C:\> sqlplus /nolog {press enter}
    sql:\>connect sys/sys as sysdba {press enter} it cant ask for password directly connected
    or
    sql:\>connect sys as sysdba {press enter}
    password : sys {press enter}
    sql:\> connected
    or
    sql:\> connect scott {press enter}
    Enter password :tiger {press enter}

    or

  • Error ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error - on client

    dear frnds,
    I am try to install oracle 11g to my client iam getting error
    ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error
    pls help me out
    thanx in advance

    Most likely reason for TNS Protocol adapter error is....you must have older client FIRST in your path.
    You 11g binaries are not kicking in, cuz...you must have 10g or similar/older binaries first in your PATH ( in windows )
    In windoz...in cmd window...
    set ORACLE_SID=xxxx
    set ORACLE_HOME= to your 11g home
    cd %ORACLE_HOME%\bin OR set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
    Then your sqlplus etc..
    This time you should not be getting the protocol error.
    Let us know whether this solved your problem

    Step 1 - from a command line on the database machine, enter 'lsnrctl status' and report the output
    Step 2 - display the contents of the %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora file on the machine running sqlplus.
    These are the first two stepo, whether on the database machine or in a traditional client-server configuration.

    ERROR:
    ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
    This is a local connection (called an internal connect in the old days). The connection does not go via the Listener. It is a local IPC connection. And as you can see, you do not supply a database schema and password as credentials - the o/s user and environment need to provide the credentials.
    So I would not expect a TNS protocol adapter error, as this usually indicates a network driver related problem.
    For a local IPC connection to work, TWO_TASK must not be set, and ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME must be set (and valid). The local client driver needs to launch an Oracle server process (dedicated server process to service the client driver). It finds that executable in ORACLE_HOME/bin. Next it needs that server process to "attach" itself to the database's brains (the SGA). This shared memory area is identified via the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID variables.
    There also is a requirement that the dedicated server process created, has the o/s permissions to attach to the SGA - which means it  needs to be run as the same o/s user as the owner of the shared memory (in other words, the client should be running in the same o/s user as the database processes).
    Thus the need to have these variables set. And no need for using a Listener - it is not a factor.

  • ORA-12560 "TNS protocol adapter error":Win2k+Oracle8i_32bit.Helplessly struggling.

    Hi Oracle Guru's,
    Please save my life from this typical yet known problem.
    I got an old backup on my tapes about 3 years older. I have windows server 2k where I have an access remotely through RDP(Citrix-CuraStore).
    I installed oracle8i 32 bit on Windows 2k though it got stuck at the end where it installs optional tools(like Net8i assistant), so i closed the installation session, Because I could see Net8i assistant,dbca etc was installed on machine.
    I checked my services, found it had started the Listerner8i service.
    To create a database, I tried to happen it through DBCA...but unfortunately it gave error(ORA-12560 "TNS protocol adapter error"), I ignored it ...but it didnt move to next step...completely stuck up..So closed the session.
    I tried with ORADIM to create service, It did happen, services for database was created, I setup the environment(SID,HOME,PATH) etc.
    When I login with sqlplus , it gives again the same error(ORA-12560 "TNS protocol adapter error"), I tried many things like TCP/IP traffing disabling etc..Nothing worked.
    Can some one please help me and give me some out of box solution..I shall be really really thankful to them.
    Regards,

    Sorry, If I missed to update you back..I apologize.
    Two services(Database Service : OracleServicetest and OracleOraHome81TNSListenerLISTENER_TEST both are up...checked from SERVICES.MSC

  • ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error while creating new database

    Hi,
    I installed Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Release 1 (10.1.03) and created the default database it had which was emrep. Once Oracle Grid Control was installed I ran the install for Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.2).
    Now when I try to create a database I get the following error: ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
    My assumption is because I seem to have 2 Oracle home's now because I installed the Grid Control??
    My question is, have I done this backwards? Should I install Oracle 10g before installing the grid control? If thats not it, can someone point me in the right direction?
    FYI: The server we're using is running Windows Server 2003.
    Thanks for your help

    I don't know what else I could have done given the behavior of the service.You can avoid problems like this in the future by avoiding Windows & using any approved *NIX Operating System.
    No such "service" or daemon exist on any *NIX OS.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • ORA-12560:  TNS: protocol adapter error - startup mount on windows

    hi all,
    I want startup the database with mount option on windows.
    The OracleServiceORCL is stopped.
    I need to startup mount, but I get the error:
    ORA-12560: TNS: protocol adapter error.
    In Linux this task is easy, but on windows I cannot connect
    to database to startup mount.
    How can I do this?
    thank you

    thank you!Once the windows service is started, you can use sqlplus to connect, shutdown, and startup just like you do in *nix.

    OS :- Windows2000 Server
    In Sql editor (10.2.0.1) when i give command "conn / as sysdba" i get the below error :

    I can connect with SYS user using TOAD but can't through sql editor
    and when i open sql editor (8.1.7.0), SYS user gets connected.
    any solution ?
    With regards

    hello,
    if having multiple database on same host, try specifying @<SID> while connecting through command line
    restart the service and try again......
    start-->setting-->control panel-->administrative tools--> servieces-->oracle_homeLinstener<SID>--> restart
    if possible paste your TNSnames.ora file here...with details
    this might help

    During the installation of database configuration assistant, I got the
    pop up error "ORA-12560: TNS protocol adapter error." I tried it
    twice and still failed. I have no idea what's going on. Any ideas?
