checkout the tnsnames.ora file on the client side, whether the info provided in the tnsnames.ora file entries like (instance name,port no) are match with your listener.ora file. if so then issue the following command in command prompt,

c:\>lsnrctl start


if u got any error during this time post the complete description of that error.

U need start the oracle service of that particular instance if it has not already started.

sql>set oracle_sid=testdb
tnsprotocal adapter error

1)click start-->click run
2)type services.msc on run prompt.
3)select the oracle service named OracleServiceTESTDB.
4)start the oracle service by right clicking OracleServiceTESTDB and then click start.

Hi,

Check for the oracle instances, whether related service is running in the services i.e oracleservicedb1, oracleservicedb2.

Please follow the steps to over come the error.

1) stop the listener and restart
2) start the oracle services related to the database.
3) export the Path variables
4) set the oracle sids
