Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> ORA 12560 - TNS protocol adapter error
I am using 8.1.6 with NT 4.0 workstation. Whenever I try to use svrmgrl to startup the local instance, I got following message:
ORA 12560 - TNS protocol adapter error
My questions are:
1. Why do I need SQLNET if my instance is local?
2. I turned on the trace on SQLNET.ORA but not much on the log file, here is
part of the listing:
niotns: niotns: setting up interrupt handler... niotns: Not trying to enable dead connection detection. niotns: Calling address:
nsmal: entry nsmal: 140 bytes at 0x42c200 nsmal: normal exit
nsopen: opening transport... ntpcon: entry ntpcon: toc = 1
Note: I have SQLNET 2.3 installed in the same machine because I have to use some application that can only work with old version of SQLNET to connect with Oracle 7.3.4 Any chance this clobber up the setting? I did try to uninstall this old version of SQLNET but did not resolve my problem?
Any help appreciated.
Tom
