Re: diagnosing db link errors

can u ping the server?(making an assumption here that they allow ping), if 
that works, its not a network issue.

I have seen that error when implementing IP address allow/deny parm in 
protocol.ora (now in sqlnet.ora).


Thanks,  Joe

Fast + Cheap will be incorrect.
Right + Cheap will take a while.

diagnosing db link errors






Yesterday I have no problem using a database link. Today I am getting tns 
errors. I have no access to the DB server (its owned by a different 
vendor). I have to go through channels to contact them. Is there anything 
I can do to diagnose whether its a network issue or the database/server is 
down. This is the oracle error I got.

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

tried tnsping and I could not reach the box. I don't have alot to go on, 
but I don't want to sit around and wait for a response.
