Hello all,
I have oracle 9i installed on win2k. It works without problem
most of the time, but once in a while I get TNS-12560:protocol
adapter error --> during login <--.
I know re-installation is probably one solution which I did
earlier but seeing the mess it involves, I am not very inclined
to do so.
Following the suggestions of an earlier post in this newsgroup,
I tried the following things in a DOS window:
1. Ping my machine: Worked
2. tnsping my ORACLE_SID (which is ORACL): Gave OK.
3. set ORACLE_SID=ORACL
4. sqlplus system/manger: This still gave a 12560 error.
I am a novice in this. Can somebody please let me know
how to debug this problem? I am attaching my listener.ora
and tnsnames.ora from the D:\oracle\ora92\network\admin
directory if that helps.
Regards,
- Swapnajit.
