RE: ORA-12547:TNS:LOST CONTACT

Anil,

The server is shifted from one location to another location. Nothing has changed. Note that she did not transfer the database from one OS to another OS. It is on the same OS and on the same machine.

My question: Why should she relink? (Yes, relinking is not a time consuming and can be done quickly). I would like to know for my knowledge why relinking should be done.

Thanks,

RAo

Hi Mala,

        I think I know what the problem is since I have already experienced it when migrating databases from HP to SUN. Are you sure nothing else has changed except the physical location of the server ? Make sure your PATH is set in the .profile of your Unix server. If not, set it appropriately. Now go to $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib and relink the Oracle executable as
follows :

           make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle

This should solve your problem and you should be able to connect using Server Manager.

Let me know how it works out.

Regards,
Anil Sikri
