Hello everyone,
We have a client on an 11.2.0.3 64-bit database on Windows server 2008. One of their vendors, using SQLSERVER, is having an intermittent issue connecting to the oracle database; their sqlserver program is sending a generic timeout expired exception. We've reviewed the sqlnet log, alert log, listener.log, and the audit trail for connections for this system. While we have found frequent TNS 12535/12170 combinations from that server in the alert log and TNS 12518/12564 from the enterprise manager agent in the sqlnet log file, all of those errors are unrelated to the specific instance that we're trying to track down (as a side, we are investigating resolutions to those as well)

Now, here is our problem, since we cannot find any information in the alert log, sqlnet log, listener.log, or the audit trail pertaining to the exact date and time that this sqlserver tried, but failed, to connect, I'm personally left with two thoughts: 1) SQLservers attempted connection didn't even make it to the oracle database or 2) there is another log out there somewhere that we are not aware of.

I'm asking for your help on #2; are there any other logs that oracle keeps that pertain to connections to the database?

I need to exhaust every possible corner of oracle before I can move on and point to the network and/or firewall.

Thank you for any input you may be able to provide,
-joel slowik
