I followed this steps to install Oracle 19.6.0 for Ubuntu 18.04:
https://medium.com/#TechExpertise/installing-oracle-sql-developer-on-ubuntu-16-04-lts-bfa4af959deb
Then for some reason I was not able to open sqlplus, so I followed this steps as solution:
https://gist.github.com/tcnksm/7316877
And now I want to log in sqlplus by typing sqlplus / as sysdba, but I am getting:
ERROR: ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does
not exist
So I think I have to make the appropriate settings in listener.ora and tnsnames.ora,
but I am missing this files.
SQL Developer and SQL*Plus are client only tools that connect to a database that must be running somewhere: either on the same host or on another host.
If this database exists you should have its connect string to connect to it with SQL Developer or SQL*Plus
If this database does not exist, you must first create it: there are several ways to do this in addition to install Oracle Database (server - not client) and to create a database:
install Oracle XE 18c on Oracle Linux or Windows: installation will install database software and create a database at the same time (easier for non database specialist)
use a pre-installed VM such as: https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/databaseappdev-vm.html.
I am able to connect to Oracle DB using Toad with Datasource name and username/password. Oracle client 12 as Oracle driver. oracle database path is set properly in the environment variables. sqlnet.ora, listener.ora and tnsnames.ora is present in ORACLE\ORANT\NETWORK\ADMIN folder and configured properly. I tried to query using Sqlplus in cmd prompt using following command:
connect User/pass#dw-prod.server.int:1527/pdw1s_servicename
I am getting ORA-12170: TNS Connect timeout error. Please help.
In SQL*Plus, just need to connect using the TNS alias.
connect user/password#tns_alias
If your password contains specific characters like # or ! probably you are getting the error for this
I have installed Oracle 11g XE successfully. I have applied the bash profile from the the oracle user (source ~/.bash_profile). It applied successfully. SQL*plus can also connect connected.
But whenever I type the command lsnrctl status, it shows no listener listening.
I am getting following ORA errors. I tried it every single solution from Google
ORA-12546: TNS: permission denied
TNS -12537: TNS connection closed
TNS -12560: TNS Adapter Error
TNS-00507: connection closed

0RA- 27369 - Operation not Permitted
I've got a .dmp file created with Oracle 10g containing the database of one of my clients. I can't for the life of me get it set up with my 12c installation. I can connect to my db using https://localhost:5500/em
I've created a user 'BOB' in my desired PDB and granted import, read and write permissions. Next I try to import using the following command:
impdp BOB/password#//localhost:1521/pdbname full=y directory=dpdump_dir dumpfile=BOB.dmp
However this gives me the following errors:
UDI-12541: operation generated ORACLE error 12541
ORA-12541: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
In the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora i have EZCONNECTOR and ports 1521. Does anyone know how to get this to work?
Many thanks in advance,
Bob
First ensure that you can do tnsping for pdbname to ensure db connect :- $ tnsping bdbname
If you get details of connection string by tnsping, you can try command with following format:
impdp bob/password#127.0.0.1:1521/pdbname directory=dpdump_dir dumpfile=BOB.dmp
I have removed "full=y" as it's not required if you are not restoring full database, specially it used apply with imp/exp utility.
You should remember that pdbname is being specified as a dbname/service_name in your example. You can confirm service_name by following command:
$ lsnrctl services; /* You can get service name and put it on your impdp command. */
In addition, you can try without specifying ip,port and dbname as you are working in localhost itself:
$ impdp bob/password directory=dpdump_dir dumpfile=BOB.dmp
First of all, you should check the connection
sqlplus> BOB/password#localhost:1521/pdbname
If you cannot connect, please connect with sys / as sysdba
Then using command:
SQL> alter session set container=pdbname
SQL> alter pluggable database pdbname open
Then quit and try to your command again. :)
I have installed Oracle XE on Win7 x64 machine. Installation completed successfully without problem, or perhaps installer didn't tell about them. But after installation I can't connect to database; its web interface is not working. I have looked through list of open ports, and there is no 8080 port as was noted during installation. Also I can't connect via SQLPlus.
SQL> connect SYSTEM
Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-12638: Credential retrieval failed
Somewhere in the web it was told to edit sqlnet.ora file, I have changed it in the following way:
# SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE)
and now I get next error
SQL> connect SYSTEM
Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
What do I need to change so that I can connect to it?
I figured out the issue.
I was using domain login to install Oracle XE. If you are using domain login to install Oracle XE then the database creation will fail (though you may not get any error messages on that regard).
Solution:
Install Oracle using a local admin user.
Change SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES to (NONE) in sqlnet.ora.
Now login with your domain user to use oracle XE.
Check the Oracle services are started
Did you set your ORACLE_SID environment variable to the name of the instance you're connecting to?
Make sure oracle service is started.
did to ran netca after installation? - if not you can ran it from cmd
You can't connect using system if the instacne is down only as sysdba (user sys)
Make sure your ORACLE_HOME,ORACLE_SID,PATH environment variables are ok
If everything was ok then you can try to start/connect to the instance manually
Sample:
C:\Documents and Settings\asafm>
C:\Documents and Settings\asafm>
C:\Documents and Settings\asafm>sqlplus "sys as sysdba"

As Rejeev Divakaran said, installing oracle XE with local windows user, and switching back to domain user account, started db, able to connect.
Config
Office Laptop
Windows 7 64 Bit
Oracle 11g XE
Can you connect this way from the command line:
sqlplus / as sysdba
if so at the SQL prompt enter
SQL>startup
If the command returns ok then try to connect with a username and password.
This error message usually occurs when the database could not be started. The windows service may be running, but still Oracle might not be able to spawn server threads and hand out client connections.
Have a Look into app\oracle\admin\xe\bdump\alert_xe.log for any error messages during the last start of the Oracle service.
Just in case someone is as "lucky" as me: I recently couldn't install Oracle with a local user (as suggested here before) because the target machine (Win2k8 x64) was also the Domain Controller of that network.
All users were in domain - no local users available :(
Here are the steps I performed:
Installed Oracle XE in my local machine (that works fine). Made a backup (using the built-in backup.bat);
Transferred the fast_recovery_area folder to my target machine;
Installed the Oracle XE in the target machine normally;
Edited the %ORA_HOME%\network\admin\sqlnet.ora file and performed this well-known edit:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)
Edited the %ORA_HOME%\bin\restore.bat file:
Replaced every entry rman target / (...) by rman target sys/MySysDbaPass (...)
Replaced every entry (...) connect / as sysdba^; by (...) connect sys/MySysDbaPass as sysdba^;
Runned restore.bat - when prompted, pointed to the fast_recovery_area I've transferred before.
Done! (pheew!)
Sorry for answering this YEARS old question, but I managed to make it work...
Make sqlnet.ora change.
Run StopDB.bat
Run MakeDB.bat
This will create a demo database, reset the password to 'oracle', and will also allow you to connect without error.
