Rob,
Your idea struck a chord - we've had virus-checker-related problems on
our servers in the past, and the server in question does indeed use
McAfee virus scanner. So I disabled all the virus-checker's functions.
Tried again and... still got the same errors.
A shame - it was a neat idea, so thanks again.
Paul

Paul,
I had problems like this, only with a LOCAL installation (W2K, Ora
9.0.2).
Everything worked flawlessly and then one day, the db worked fine, but
forms, reports, toad all gave the message 'TNS unable to connect to
destination'.
After two weeks of testing everything that could be tested, I finally
realized that on the 'problem starting' day I installed an update of the
McAfee virus scanner.
I disabled it, and you guessed it: everything worked fine. I now have
Norton
anti virus and no problems.
Maybe you could look at this in your system (Firewall also ??)
Greetings,
Rob Zijlstra

Thomas,
OK, I've tried copying over the tnsnames.ora, listener.ora and
sqlnet.ora files to the 9.2 network\admin directory. I then tried
running the upgrade assistant with ONLY the 8.0 listener running, and
got the usual error. Then tried with ONLY the 9.2 listener running, same
error. Finally tried with both listeners running - first time with the
same .ora files, second times with the entries for the database removed
from the 9.2 .ora files. Both times gave the same, usual 12203 error.
The detailed error messages in the sqlnet.log file each time are:
Fatal NI connect error 12203, connecting to:

Incidentally, the reason I've not pursued this with Oracle UK, via a
TAR, is that MetaLink is currently regarding our license keys as
invalid, so I'm waiting for my line manager to get that little issue
resolved with our Account Manager. (These things always happen at the
most inopportune moments!).
So, as ever, I'm open to any further suggestions, to say the least!

I'm following the Oracle 9.2 DB Migration documentation, and using the
DB Upgrade Assistant to do this, and it makes no mention of manually
switching listeners. Hence I'm loath to do so, since one of the things
DBUA does is to change over from the old listener to the 9.2 listener.

Try starting an Oracle 9 listener. I'm not sure if an 8.0.6 listener
can
be used by a 9.2 client.

Thanks Jared (and to Thomas Day also) for the suggestion. I've copied
over the tnsnames.ora file, (and also the listener.ora and sqlnet.ora
files for good measure) to the 9.2 network\admin directory, bounced
everything and tried again, but with exactly the same result. Obviously
I'm missing something really obvious, but my brain's just seized up on
this one. Any further ideas would be REALLY welcome!
In case it helps, here's the essential information:
Services running are the 8.0.6 listener, and the 8.0.6 database instance
services.
The Global Name, db_name and db_domain of the database are DLIB.WORLD,
dlib and WORLD respectively.
When I run the 9.2 database upgrade assistant it lists: "Oracle SID:
DLIB, OracleHome: d:\oracle\ora80".
The message when I try to proceed is "ORA-12203: TNS: unable to connect
to destination".
The tnsnames.ora file (which I've now copied to the 9.2 network\admin
directory) contains:
# D:\ORACLE\ORA80\NET80\ADMIN\TNSNAMES.ORA Configuration
File:d:\oracle\ora80\net80\admin\tnsnames.ora

(CONNECT_DATA =3D3D3D (SID =3D3D3D extproc))
)
The listener.ora file (also copied over to 9.2 directory) contains:

(ORACLE_HOME =3D3D3D d:\oracle\ora80)

)
)
The sqlnet.ora file (also copied over) contains:

SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_SERVER =3D3D3D requested
SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_CLIENT =3D3D3D requested

I hope someone can see the obvious mistakes here - they're not obvious
to me (he says, feeling very, very dim!)

You likely need to investigate the 9.2 tnsnames.ora file. It probably
needs to be modified to include the 8.0.6 database information.
The DBCA is getting the info from the registry, but that doesn't help
you with creating a database connection.

Problem upgrading from Windows 2000 Oracle 8.0.6 to Oracle 9.2.0.1.0
Hi everybody,
I've just installed Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 onto a Windows 2000 server which
was currently running Oracle 8.0.6 with a single instance on it. I
noticed that during the installation, I wasn't presented with the
Upgrading An Existing Database screen. This may be significant! I didn't
think anything of it, since I intended to run the Database Upgrade
Assistant independently after installing 9.2.
The installation went smoothly. I then checked that the 8.0.6 db
instance was still up and running, by connecting to it from my office
workstation. Yes, fine. Back to the server, and I fired up Database
Upgrade Assistant from the Oracle 9.2 program group. After the Welcome
screen it showed the panel which did indeed list my 8.0.6 database. I
selected it, gave a userid with the necessary SYSDBA privileges, and a
password, and clicked on next. Then I got an error message: ORA-12203:
TNS unable to connect to destination.
Now, presumably this means I've got something wrongly configured on the
server, such that it can't connect to its own local database. Any ideas
at all, as to where I should start looking, would be very greatly
appreciated!
