Sounds like the upgrade install of 8.1.7 messed up Net8...server manager is failing to make a connection to the database service because of munged Net8.

Troubleshoot your sqlnet.ora, tnsnames.ora files first.

If you invoke svrmgr23 or plus80 from the command prompt you will probably get the same error.

One of the things I learned working with Oracle on microcrap platforms is that any tool that automates a upgrade or installs fails. There are too many patches in 8.1.7 to trust any migration tool or upgrade procedure off a CD.

You are probably learning the hard way that install into a separate home export - import is the way to go rather than a migration/upgrade.

Guys,

I am trying to upgrade 8.1.6.0. to 8.1.7. on Win2K server. i did this with the help of MIGRATION GUIDE only.

after installing 8.1.6. , i installed 8.1.7. in the same ORACLE_HOME.

then i used DBCA to do the upgradation.
all goes fine.when the DBCA
runs ORACLE_HOME\assistants\dbma\startup_restrict.sql

it ends up in

TNS-Error : Protocol adapter error.

the startup_restrict.sql internally
invokes ORACLE_HOME\assistants\dbma\ORACLE_SIDconint.sql

this script ORACLE_SIDconint.sql has a single line in it.

CONNECT INTERNAL. i hope this is where it fails.
why is it so ? since DBCA has all the control , i do not know how to proceed further ?

any clues ?

thanx and regards,
Jp.
