D Error Messages on Windows

This appendix lists error messages, causes, and corrective actions that are specific to operation of Oracle Database for Windows. This appendix also includes database connection issues.

This appendix contains these topics:

D.4 Database Connection Issues

The following are common Oracle Database connection error codes, their causes, and suggested remedies.

TNS-12203
TNS: unable to connect to destination
Cause: OracleServiceSID service, OracleHOME_NAMETNSListener service, or both are not running.
Action: Ensure that both services are started.
ORA-12560
TNS: lost contact
Cause: OracleServiceSID service, OracleHOME_NAMETNSListener service, or both are not running. You receive this error if you attempt to use any Oracle Database utilities, such as SQL*Plus. This error is analogous to the following Oracle7 error: ORA-09352: Windows 32-bit Two-Task driver unable to spawn new ORACLE task.
Action: Ensure that both services are started.
ORA-28575
unable to open RPC connection to external procedure agent
Cause: tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files have not been correctly configured to use external procedures.
Action: Reconfigure services.
ORA-06512
at "APPLICATIONS.OSEXEC", line 0
Cause: tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files have not been correctly configured to use external procedures.
Action: Reconfigure services.
ORA-06512
at "APPLICATIONS.TEST", line 4
Cause: tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files have not been correctly configured to use external procedures.
Action: Reconfigure services.
ORA-06512
at line 2
Cause: tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files have not been correctly configured to use external procedures.
Action: Reconfigure services.
ORA-01031 and LCC-00161
Both codes appear at startup
Cause: Parameter file (init.ora) or Windows services are damaged. These errors usually appear when the parameter file cannot be read by Oracle Database at database startup.
Action: Delete and re-create the SID and services. Make sure you are logged on as the user Administrator, or a user within the Windows Administrator's Group with full administrative rights. At the command prompt, enter: oradim -delete -sid sid where sid is the name of your database (for example, orcl). Re-create the SID and services by entering: oradim -new -sid sid -startmode auto -pfile full_path_to_init.ora
