Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> urgent -- strange Net8 errors
I'm having intermittent TNS problems. The more I troubleshoot, the
weirder it gets. I'm absolutely stymied; any help at all would be
appreciated. Here are the symptoms:
-When I try to connect username/passwd_at_db01, -soemtimes- it connects and
-sometimes- I get an error. When I'm on the server on a console window,
the error I get is always ORA-03113. ("end-of-file on communication
channel") But it's not consistent; sometimes I can connect fine.
-When I try to connect to the databases from another machine, I get
various errors: 12545, 01034 (Oracle not available), 12541 (Listener not
available -- even if the listener is running). In the past, the
connecitons were working fine. I then added a couple more databases to
the same machine, (there are now five), and slowly the ability to connect
became more erratic until I cannot get trhough at all. ?
-For no apparent reason, sqlnet.log is not logging these errors, even
though i set trace_level = admin in sqlnet.ora. When I look at
sqlnet.log (on the server), all I see is "Fatal NI connect error 12153" --
which, since I'm trying to connect to the server from the server, and the
server is indeed on the network, doesn't make any sense to me -- and
"Tracing not turned on" -- how the heck do I turn tracing on, if not in
sqlnet.ora?
-Here is something really weird. When I trcroute the server from another
machine, *it takes the listener down*. I dont' even understand how this
is possible. Do you have any idea what might be going on? When I
tnsping, the connections to the databases go though fine, but when i
trcroute, it takes the listener down.
Thanks very much,
