I am not able to connect to my Oracle 19C Cloud DB, I have downloaded the wallet and placed it in a secured place in my machine(windows).
I have installed Oracle 19C Client in my machine,
and updated tnsnames.ora(network/admin) with connection strings from wallet zip,
Not sure how whether I have missed any config like Environment variables
Getting below error from sqlplus
ERROR:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Note: I am able to connect to Cloud from Sql developer using the wallet file.
And I have Oracle 18c XE running in my machine.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
Your problem seems to be related with the issue that you have an Oracle XE database version installed in your own laptop.
When you run sqlplus or any other OCI tool to connect to Oracle, no matter whether the database is a remote host or in the cloud, sqlplus evaluates the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to identify where your sqlnet and tnsnames files are located. If there is no variable, it uses the default values of your main Oracle registry entries, that for sure point to your XE version, as it was installed before.
When you get ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified , your session is not finding any information regarding the target in your configuration files, probably because the session is evaluating the files in your XE installation
Try to do the following
Copy the wallet files provided by your Oracle Cloud to a location different to your XE installation.
Export the TNS_ADMIN variable in your sqlplus cmd session to this new path
Run sqlplus using wallet
Example ( I believe you did points 1 and 2 )
Install Oracle Client software on your computer. Use either the full
Oracle Database Client 11.2.0.4 (or higher) or the Oracle Instant
Client 12.1.0.2 (or higher). The Instant Client contains the minimal
software needed to make an Oracle Call Interface connection. The
Instant Client 12.1.0.2 (or higher) is sufficient for most
applications.
Download client credentials and store the file in a secure folder on
your client computer. See Download Client Credentials (Wallets).
Unzip/uncompress the credentials file into a secure folder on your client computer.
Edit the sqlnet.ora file in the folder where you unzip the
credentials file, replacing "?/network/admin" with the name of the
folder containing the client credentials.
Example
WALLET_LOCATION = (SOURCE = (METHOD = file) (METHOD_DATA = (DIRECTORY="/my_new_path")))
SSL_SERVER_DN_MATCH=yes
cmd> set tns_admin = my_new_path
cmd> sqlplus /#yourtnsentry
I don't know whether your cloud database is using a Public IP address or not, or if you want to use SSH tunneling to connect to the database. Take a look here, because then you might want to use SQLcl ( Sql Developer Command Line )
https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Database/Tasks/connectingDB.htm
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.
Just installed Oracle 11g XE (Windows), but can't connect in SQL Developer or run any command in CLI.
When try to connect in CLI using SYS or SYSTEM with password defined during the install, get the following error:
ORA-12638: credential retrieval failed
When I tray to connect via SQL Developer (tried via SID and Service Name, hostname=localhost, port=1521, SID=xe), get this error:
Status : Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in
connect descriptor
Already tried change SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS) to (NONE) in sqlnet.ora file. When I do this, get the following error when try to connect with the SYS or SYSTEM user and password:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
Already tried every solution in Google results, like reinstall, stop and start services... Mostly ask for first connect in CLI to make some changes, but even this I can't accomplish.
Any suggestions on how connect to the database?
Found the solution:
I was installing in my company Windows user domain.
First uninstall any instance of Oracle XE 11g.
Switch to a local administrator Windows user and install Oracle XE 11g.
Sign off and back to company Windows user.
Edit the file C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\network\ADMIN\sqlnet.ora (or equivalent to your installation path). Change SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (TNS) to SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE).
This change will allow you connect to database from you company Windows user.
As seen here: Error ORA-12638 in Oracle Database 11g
Try the following: Open command window, cd to Oracle bin directory, enter sqlplus /nolog. If you get a prompt enter connect / as sysdba. If you get connected then you can try "startup".
- -
Did you try to start the Oracle RDBMS service via Services (services.msc)?
Do you use an spfile? Check the registry for ORA_SID_NAME_PFILE that is different from default location of $ORACLE_HOME/dbs. Also check the default location. Use only the default location or the registry entry removing either the registry entry or the file in the default location depending on which you want to use.
When I run the sql developer and set the all data,click the connect but i get this error:
Status : Failure -Test failed: IO Error: Got minus one from a read call
I am beginner in Oracle. How can I solve that error?
I use 64-bit Windows7 and oracle 12c.
In my case the error is connected to a problem about the client's (SQL Developer) ojdbc8 driver and the Oracle 19.3 docker container. The solution for me was to set a system property on the client -- you can do it within the JDBC connection string):
jdbc:oracle:thin:#tcp://host:port/service?oracle.net.disableOob=true
This is the thread that lead me to the answer.
The cause of the error is described here:
https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?_afrLoop=357910144923387
You can also solve this problem by dissabling OOB on server side in the sqlnet.ora:
DISABLE_OOB=ON
Another workaround is to use the ojdbc7 driver.
Hope this helps some of us.
From your inputs in the dialog, you are using port 5500. That port is what is used for EM Express. It answers to HTTPs traffic only. So in this case the -1 error message means the protocol negotiation failed. SQLDEV is trying to talk SQL*NET to something listening for HTTPs.
The port you are looking for is 1521 if it wasn't altered. If it was check the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora for the proper port number.
You need set "tcp.validnode_checking = no" or comment this parameter in sqlnet.ora file then restart listener on db server and test again.
Try it.
I got the same issue but following steps worked for me, it seems Gaurav also has shared it already:
1.Go to the folder where you have installed the database (Like: F:\app)
2.Here you will be able to see many folders, go to product\11.2.0("your databse version")\dbhome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN
3.find listener.ora file and open as text file
4.Check for the port number in that file
5.Now provide that port number while doing connection in sql developer.
Seems you have enabled ACL on the listener.
You can follow these steps to avoid the error:
1. Go to directory $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
2. Modify sqlnet.ora file with following parameter:
tcp.validnode_checking = no
3. If you don't want to disable this, you can put the machine names as follows:
tcp.invited_nodes=(machine1, machine2)
3. Bounce the listener.
Hope that helps
Ensure the DB is up and running and you can connect locally AS SYSDBA to the database using Oracle binaries owner (usually oracle:oinstall Unix / Linux user). If it does not work, probably you encounter a different problem.
Check privileges of an Oracle file on Unix / Linux host where database is running:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
ls -ltr oracle
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle oinstall 136803483 Mar 16 20:32 oracle
Change permissions as below:
chmod 6751 oracle
ls -ltr oracle
-rwsr-s--x 1 oracle oinstall 136803483 Mar 16 20:32 oracle
Most of the answers out there for this problem point to using the wrong PORT number in your connection options, or similar. In my case, after a couple hours of searching, the reason showed to be something else.
Mind which user you are using when starting Oracle listener. You should do it with the oracle user, not as root. Otherwise you end up with listener files being created as e.g. user deamon group root instead of user oracle group dba. This in turn leads to:
TNS-12555: TNS:permission denied
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00525: Insufficient privilege for operation
Linux Error: 1: Operation not permitted
To check whether this is the case, go to
/var/tmp/.oracle
and list all files (ls -la). If you find out some of the s#* files being created by a root-group user, stop the listener (lsnrctl stop), delete the above files as root and restart the listener as oracle user.
Unfortunately sqldeveloper doesn't show the full stack-trace when reading "Got minus one from a read call". I could find the problem thanks to switching to SQL-Squirrel.
In my case, I was given wrong host and port. I typed "tnsping yourServiceName" in command line in window 10. It returns a different host and port, then I used the correct one in sql developer and it worked.
In my case, it happened when I was using Docker with Oracle 19C.
The workaround is to find the listener.ora file, change 'PORT' and restart the container, ORACLE DB, listener.
It is presumed to be an error that occurred when the host tried to access TCP because it was already LISENT (HOST) by another process.
(When accessing Docker, consider that in most cases, you are accessing localhost.)
I changed the port to 1523, and all the problems were solved.
Try to do what the link , or check listener directory permission, or use command /dbhome/bin/relink all
Try
Connection name: HR_ORCL
Username: HR ,
Password: hr ,
Connection type : local,
Role: SYSDBA
Click on connect.
It will work.
Actually, It is not database specific issue. it is related to port value generated by database during your installation. To overcome on this issue, please follow below.
Go to the folder where you have installed the database (Like: F:\app)
Here you will be able to see many folders, go to product\11.2.0("your databse version")\dbhome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN
find listener.ora file and open as text file
Check for the port number in that file
Now provide that port number while doing connection in sql developer.
Hope it will resolve your issue.
I currently support an MS Access database that has linked connections using the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle. I can connect to the current linked tables without any issues, but we are required for security reasons to change the password on the account accessing the Server.
I have changed the password successfully but now when I attempt to relink the tables I get the error:
ODBC--call failed
Microsoft ODBC driver for ORacle ORA-12154: TNS could not resolve service name
These tables are part of a critical application and now we can't connect. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
The ORA-12154 error indicates that you are specifying a TNS alias that is not resolving. Are you using a DSN for your connection to Oracle? If so, what is the TNS alias you're specifying there? Does that alias exist in your tnsnames.ora file? Are there multiple tnsnames.ora files on the client?
The tnsnames.ora file is on the client machine where Access is installed. Without knowing what version of the Oracle client is installed, the simplest way to find out which tnsnames.ora file is being used is probably to open up a DOS prompt and type "tnsping service_name" where `service_name" is whatever TNS alias is specified in your DSN. You'll get something like
