Hi,

When I want to execute my file from Forms I get the message
ORA-12560: TNS: error with protocoladapter.

When I log in with SQL plus this error message does not appear.

Can somebody help me?

Search this forum for 'tnsnames.ora'. You have two Oracle 'homes' on your PC - SQL is using one successfully and Forms is using another, unfortunately, unsuccessfully. They have to be the same. Use the search term 'ifile' for the best solution.

Hi,

Even I am getting the same error.
I tried copying all the .ora files under newtwork/admin in the database directory to the Developer Suite's directory. It still doesn't work.
Could you fix this?
If yes, can you please help me out?

The contents of the tnsnames.ora files in Developer Suite is as follows:
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: E:\DevSuiteHome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = user-4a1983b25a)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = PLSExtProc)
    )
  )

And in the database directory is as follows:
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_2\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

ORCL =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = user-4a1983b25a)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
    )
  )

EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = PLSExtProc)
      (PRESENTATION = RO)
    )
  )

Kindly suggest any changes.

Thanks and Regards,
Sneha

You said "I tried copying all the .ora files". How many files was that? And if you did copy them, why is the tnsnames.ora different now?

What did you install first? Oracle DB or Develoepr Suite?

I added an entry for LOCAL in the default.env file(as suggested by you in one of your replies) and that worked.
Thanks.
