Oracle Net Services provides methods for understanding, testing and resolving network problems. Oracle Database includes utilities, and log and trace files for testing and diagnosing network connection and problems. The TNSPING and TRCROUTE utilities test connectivity. The log and trace files keep track of the interaction between network components as errors occur. Evaluating this information will help you to diagnose and troubleshoot network problems.
This chapter describes common testing procedures and network errors, and outlines procedures for resolving problems. It also describes methods for logging and tracing error information to diagnose and troubleshoot more complex network problems. This chapter contains the following topics:
The automatic diagnostic repository (ADR) is a systemwide tracing and logging central repository. The repository is a file-based hierarchical data store for depositing diagnostic information, including network tracing and logging information.
The ADR home is the unit of the ADR directory that is assigned to an instance of an Oracle product. Each database instance has its own ADR home. Similarly, each listener, Oracle Connection Manager, and client instance has its own ADR home.
The location of an ADR home is given by the following path, which starts at the ADR base directory:
diag/product_type/product_id/instance_id
Table 16-1 lists the values of the path components for an Oracle Net Listener instance.
Table 16-1 ADR Home Path Components for an Oracle Net Listener Instance
| Path Component | Value for Oracle Net Listener |
|---|---|
|
product_type |
tnslsnr |
|
product_id |
host name |
|
instance_id |
listener alias name |
Figure 16-1 illustrates the directory hierarchy of the ADR for an Oracle Net Listener instance. Other ADR homes for other Oracle products or components (such as Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) or Oracle Database) can exist within this hierarchy, under the same ADR base.

Figure 16-2 illustrates the directory hierarchy of the ADR for an Oracle Connection Manager instance. Other ADR homes for other Oracle products or components (such as Oracle ASM or Oracle Database) can exist within this hierarchy, under the same ADR base.
Figure 16-2 Directory Structure for a Oracle Connection Manager Instance
Within the ADR home directory are subdirectories where each instance, such as the database, listener, Oracle Connection Manager, or client, stores diagnostic data. Table 16-3 lists some of these subdirectories and their contents.
Table 16-3 ADR Home Subdirectories
| Subdirectory Name | Contents |
|---|---|
|
alert |
The XML-formatted log named log.xml |
|
cdump |
Core files |
|
incident |
Multiple subdirectories, where each subdirectory is named for a particular incident, and where each contains dumps pertaining only to that incident |
|
trace |
Background and server process trace files, SQL trace files, and text version of the log.xml file in the alert directory |
|
(others) |
Other subdirectories of ADR home, which store incident packages, health monitor reports, and other information |
The ADR_BASE is the physical location in which one or more ADR homes are placed. Conceptually, it is the root directory of ADR.
Non-ADR (meaning that the DIAG_ADR_ENABLED parameter is set to OFF) diagnostic and tracing methods are still current and applicable but the parameters are ignored if ADR is enabled. ADR is enabled by default.
Diagnostic parameters are found in the following configuration files:
sqlnet.ora for clients.
listener.ora for listeners.
cman.ora for connection managers.
Table 16-4 compares usage of diagnostic parameters found in the sqlnet.ora file used in both ADR and non-ADR-based diagnostics.

Oracle Database Net Services Reference for descriptions of the following diagnostic parameters
ADRCI is a command-line tool that is part of the fault diagnosability infrastructure introduced in Oracle Database 11g. ADRCI enables you to:
View diagnostic data within ADR
Package incident and problem information into a zip file for transmission to Oracle Support Services
Diagnostic data includes incident and problem descriptions, trace files, dumps, health monitor reports, alert log entries, and so on.
ADRCI has a rich command set, and can be used in interactive mode or within scripts. In addition, ADRCI can run scripts of ADRCI commands in the same way that SQL*Plus runs scripts with SQL and PL/SQL commands.
To view trace files using ADRCI, enter ADRCI at a command line. The following are common ADRCI commands to check a server:
adrci>> SHOW BASE
adrci>> SHOW TRACEFILE
adrci>> SHOW TRACE trace_file.trc
The following are common ADRCI commands to check a client:
adrci>> SHOW ALERT adrci>> SHOW BASE -product client adrci>> SET BASE -product client adrci>> SHOW TRACEFILE adrci>> SHOW TRACE trace_file.trc adrci>> SHOW SPOOL
In the preceding commands, SHOW ALERT will show the log.xml file in a text editor, such as VI. SHOW BASE -product client displays the value of ADR_BASE for the client. Use that value for client in the SET BASE command.
Other ADRCI command options are available for a more targeted Oracle Net trace file analysis. Type HELP at the adrci prompt for help documentation.

Oracle Database Utilities for additional information about ADRCIAny underlying fault, noticeable or not, is reported by Oracle Net Services with an error number or message. The error number and message provide useful information for diagnosing the problem, but may not always identify the actual problem. This section helps you determine which parts of Oracle Net Services do function properly rather than the parts which do not work. It also helps you to decide in which of the following categories the fault belongs:
Oracle software
Operating system layer
Other network layers
Testing the various network layers progressively should, in most cases, uncover any problem.
This section contains the following topics:
To start diagnosing server problems, you should answer the following questions:
Is any other system (workstation/server) able to connect to the server using Oracle Net?
Has the server, database, or listener configuration remained the same for some time?
If you answered yes to any of the preceding questions, then go to "Diagnosing Client Problems".
If you are unsure, or answered no to any of the preceding questions, then continue. Diagnosing Oracle Net Services on the server involves the following tasks:
To check that the database is up, log in to the database and connect with a valid username and password. For example:
SQLPLUS system
Enter password: password
A message appears, confirming that you are connected with the database. If you receive the following errors, then ask your Database Administrator to assist you:
A loopback test uses Oracle Net to go from the database server back to itself, bypassing the Interprocess Communication (IPC). Performing a successful loopback verifies that Oracle Net is functioning on the database server.
To perform a loopback test from the server to the database:
Ensure that the listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files exist in the correct locations, as described in "Using Localized Management".
Start Oracle Net Manager.
In the navigator, expand Directory or Local > Service Naming.
Select the net service name or database service.
Choose Command > Test Net Service.
Testing assumes the listener and database are running. If they are not, then see "Starting Oracle Net Listener and the Oracle Database Server" to start components.
During testing, a Connection Test dialog box appears, providing status and test results. A successful test results in the following message:
The connection test was successful.
If the test was successful, then proceed to Step 6.
If the test was not successful, then do the following:
Ensure the database and listener are running, and then click Test.
Click Change Login to change the username and password for the connection, and then click Test.
If the loopback test passes, then go to "Diagnosing Client Problems".
If the loopback test continues to fail, then contact Oracle Support Services.
Click Close to close the Connect Test dialog box.
Verify at least one of the following statements. This will help you decide if it is a client problem.
The database server passed a loopback test, showing that the connection worked.
Other computers connect also using Oracle Net Services to this same database.
Connections from this workstation worked before making changes on this computer, such as the installation of a new product or modification to the network configuration.
The following procedure describes how to perform diagnostics on the client:
Check that you have installed the same protocol support that was installed on the database server.
On Linux and UNIX platforms you can use the ADAPTERS utility to verify protocol support. On the database server, run the following command from the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory to display the protocol support, naming methods, and security options linked with the oracle executable:
adapters ./oracle
The adapters utility displays output similar to the following:
Installed Oracle Net transport protocols are:
IPC
BEQ
TCP/IP
SSL
RAW
SDP/IB
Installed Oracle Net naming methods are:
Local Naming (tnsnames.ora)
Oracle Directory Naming
Oracle Host Naming
NIS Naming
Installed Oracle Advanced Security options are:

On the client, run the adapters command from the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory to display the configured Oracle protocol support, naming methods, and security options. The ADAPTERS utility displays output similar to the following:
Installed Oracle Net transport protocols are:
IPC
BEQ
TCP/IP

Oracle Database Administrator's Guide for additional information about theadapters utilityCheck base connectivity for underlying network transport. Oracle Net technology depends on the underlying network for a successful connection.
| Protocol | Verify that you can... |
|---|---|
| TCP/IP | Use terminal emulation or file transfer utilities, (PING, FTP, TELNET) from the client to the database server. |
| Named Pipes |
|
Ensure that the Oracle Net foundation layer and the appropriate Oracle protocol support are present by verifying that all Oracle Net Services software has been installed for the client.
Ensure that the client computer has the tnsnames.ora and the sqlnet.ora files in the correct locations.
See Also:
"Using Localized Management"If you have any other working client computers connecting to the selected Oracle Database, then back up your existing files and copy both the working tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files from the working client computer to the non-working clients. This eliminates the possibility of errors in the files.
Test the Oracle Net foundation layer. You can test using the following command to connect to SQL*Plus:
sqlplus user/password@connect_string
Note:
Do not use the TNSPING utility. The TNSPING utility works like the TCP/IP PING utility and does not create and open a socket, nor does it connect with the listener. It ensures that the listener is present on the database server.If the connection still fails, then do the following:
Use tracing, as described in section "Troubleshooting Network Problems Using Log and Trace Files"
Check the Oracle Support Web site for a specific diagnostics bulletin on the error received
Contact Oracle Support Services
Due to the complexity of network communications, network errors may originate from a variety of sources, and for a variety of reasons. If an error occurs, then applications such as SQL*Plus, that depend on network services from Oracle Net Services, normally generate an error message.
A list of the most common network error messages follows:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
TNS-12500/ORA-12500: TNS: listener failed to start a dedicated server process
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
ORA-12520: TNS:listener could not find available handler for requested type of server
ORA-12521: TNS:listener does not currently know of instance requested in connect descriptor
ORA-12525: TNS:listener has not received client's request in time allowed
For information about the specific error messages, use the Oracle error tool oerr, by entering the following at any command line:
oerr code error_number
In the preceding command, code is the type of message, such as ORA and TNS, and error_number is the number associated with the error message.
See Also:
Oracle Database Error Messages for a complete listing of error messagesalert_sid.log file on the server. An unexpected end of file was processed on the communication channel. This may be an indication that the communications link may have gone down at least temporarily, or it may indicate that the server has gone down.You may need to modify your retransmission count.Check the type of naming adapters listed in the names.directory_path parameter in the sqlnet.ora file. If none are configured, then use the adapters command to determine which adapters are in use. The following example shows the adapters:
$ adapters
...
Installed Oracle Net naming methods are:
Local Naming (tnsnames.ora)
Oracle Directory Naming
Oracle Host Naming
NIS Naming
The net service name given in the connect string should be defined for at least one of the naming methods.
Check the resolution path for each adapter for possible problems. For example, ensure that the name given in the connect string is correct and complete, using the full name of the net service if necessary.
When using the local naming method, do the following:
Verify that the tnsnames.ora file exists and is in the correct location. The location is either the ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory or the directory specified by the TNS_ADMIN environment variable.
Verify there is an entry in the tnsnames.ora file for the name given in the connect string. This net service name should match the name in the tnsnames.ora file exactly if the name is simple and there is not NAMES_DEFAULT_DOMAIN in the sqlnet.ora file, or the net service name is a fully-qualified name. If the net service name in the connect string is simple, then check the NAMES_DEFAULT_DIRECTORY parameter in the sqlnet.ora file. Its value is appended to the net service name given in the connect string. This fully-qualified name should be the entry in the tnsnames.ora file.
If you are connecting from a login dialog box, then verify that you are not placing an at sign (@) before your connect net service name.
Activate client tracing and repeat the operation.
When using the directory naming method, do the following:
Verify the ldap.ora file exists and is in the correct location. The following directories are searched for ldap.ora file in the order given. The ldap.ora file found will be used.
The directory specified by the TNS_ADMIN environment variable.
The ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory.
The directory specified by the LDAP_ADMIN environment variable.
The ORACLE_HOME/ldap/admin directory.
Verify that the parameters defined in the ldap.ora file are correct, as follows:
The DIRECTORY_SERVERS parameter defines the correct host and port for one or more valid LDAP servers.
The DEFAULT_ADMIN_CONTEXT parameter defines the location of the Oracle Context in this directory which should include the net service entry.
If the ldap.ora file does not exist, then these parameters will be resolved using automatic discovery.
Verify that the LDAP server host and port are defined in DNS.
Verify that the directory has the default Oracle Context defined.
Use the ldapsearch utility or a directory administration tool to verify that the net service object exists in the Oracle Context at the location given by the value of the DEFAULT_ADMIN_CONTEXT parameter.
When using the Easy Connect naming method, do the following:
Verify that the host name give is correct, and is defined in the local host name resolution service, such as local hosts file, DNS, and so on.
When using the external naming method, do the following:
Verify that the NIS file for tnsnames is properly set up.
Check that the net service name matches the tnsnames entry as described in the preceding local naming section.

SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT parameter in the sqlnet.ora file. This error may be a result of network or system delays, or it may indicate that a malicious client is trying to cause a denial-of-service attack on the database server.Turn on tracing to determine which clients are timing out.
Reconfigure the SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, SQLNET.SEND_TIMEOUT, or SQLNET.RECV_TIMEOUT parameters in sqlnet.ora to a larger value.
If you suspect a malicious client, then perform the following steps:
Restrict access to the client. For example, you can configure parameters for access rights in the sqlnet.ora file.
See Also:
"Configuring Database Access Control"Locate the IP address of the client in the sqlnet.log file on the database server to identify the source. Remember that an IP address can be forged.
For example, the following sqlnet.log excerpt shows a client IP address of 192.168.2.35.

Directory naming issues associated with connectivity errors for database service or net service name entries in a directory server require analysis of the data. You can analyze the data contained within a directory server with the ldifwrite command line tool. The ldifwrite tool is an Oracle Internet Directory tool.
The ldifwrite tool can be used to convert all or part of the information residing in a directory server to Lightweight Directory Interchange Format (LDIF). The ldifwrite tool performs a subtree search, including all entries following the specified distinguished name (DN), including the DN itself.
The ldifwrite tool syntax is as follows:
ldifwrite -c net_service_name/database_service -b base_DN -f ldif_file
Table 16-7 lists ldifwrite tool arguments and descriptions for each.
Table 16-7 ldifwrite Arguments
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
|
-c net_service_name/database_service |
The net service name or database service name that connects to the directory server. |
|
-b base_DN |
The base of the subtree to be written out in LDIF format. |
|
-f ldif_file |
The input file name. |
The following example writes all the directory naming entries under dc=us,dc=example,dc=com to the output1.ldi file:
ldifwrite -c ldap -b "dc=us,dc=example,dc=com" -f output.ldif
Note:
Check theldap.ora file to determine the base_DN value. It is the same as the DEFAULT_ADMIN_CONTEXT entry in the ldap.ora file.The following suggestions may be useful when diagnosing network problems:
Use the node or network address during configuration instead of the name of the server computer.
This eliminates any internal lookup problems and make the connection slightly faster.
If you are using TCP/IP addresses, then use the IP address rather than the host name.
For example, change the (HOST=server_name) line in the tnsnames.ora file with the IP address, for example (HOST=192.168.2.5).
Perform a loopback test.
Perform a loopback test on the server as described in Task 2, "Perform a Loopback Test". If the test passes, then use FTP to send the tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files to the client.
Check the systems between the client and the server.
If it is a wide area network (WAN), then identify any intermediate systems that may not work correctly. If all computers are fine, then the problem may be a timing issue.
Verify whether there is a timing issue.
Timing issues are associated with an ORA-12535 error in the client log files.
To resolve this, try speeding up the connection by using exact addresses instead of names and increase the INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_listener_name parameter in the listener.ora file. The default value for this parameter is 60 seconds.
Determine which Oracle applications are failing.
SQL*Plus may work, but CASE tools may not. If you determine the problem is a data volume issue, then try to transfer a large (5 MB) file with the base connectivity.
The following questions can help diagnose a problem:
Do all computers have a problem, or is it just one?
If one computer works and another does not, and the same software (Oracle and third-party products) is installed on each computer, then, if possible, swap out the network cables to see if the problem occurs on the second client. If it does occur, then it indicates that the problem has something to do with the client/server connection and is not local to the client.
What kind of connections exist between the client and the server, for example, X.25, ISDN, or leased line?
Sniffers and LAN analyzers are useful for locating intermittent connection failures, and detecting time outs and re-sent packets. You can also see which side is waiting for a response.
This section offers some solutions to the TNS-12154 error. The TNS-12154 error is encountered when SQL*Net cannot find the alias specified for a connection in the tnsnames.ora file or other naming adapter.
Before attempting to resolve the problem, it may be helpful to have a printout or view the tnsnames.ora file and the sqlnet.ora file. Looking at these files at the same time is helpful because references are made to both.
The tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files are located in the default network administration directory on the client system.
Be sure that the tnsnames.ora file and the sqlnet.ora file resemble the following examples.
Example 16-1 shows an example of a tnsnames.ora file.

To begin the diagnostic process, determine which section of this document applies to the problem. In the sample files shown in Example 16-1 and Example 16-2, the alias in Example 16-1 is DEV1.WORLD. However, the NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN=WORLD parameter does not exist in Example 16-2. To fix this problem, add the NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN=WORLD parameter anywhere in the sqlnet.ora file. Save the file, and try the connection again.
If the TNS-12154 error still persists, then determine whether the files were transferred from the client to the server and check the configuration files to ensure that CTRL-M (^M) or CTRL-R (^R) characters were not inserted at the ends of any lines. Remove any such characters you may find.
If the characters do not exist, then verify whether the NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter exists in the sqlnet.ora file and make sure the value in parentheses is TNSNAMES, as follows:
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH=(TNSNAMES) NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH=(TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT, HOSTNAME)
This parameter is not necessary but if it exists in the sqlnet.ora file and appears as shown in the preceding example, then the configuration files are technically accurate.
At the Linux prompt, echo the TNS_ADMIN environment variable, as follows:
% echo $TNS_ADMIN
If nothing is returned, then set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to explicitly point to the location of the tnsnames.ora file.
In C shell:
% setenv TNS_ADMIN full_path_to_tnsnames.ora_file
In Korn shell:
% TNS_ADMIN=full_path_to_tnsnames.ora_file; export TNS_ADMIN
Try the connection again.
If the error persists, then add the AUTOMATIC_IPC=OFF parameter to the sqlnet.ora file. If AUTOMATIC_IPC is already set to ON, then change the value to OFF. Try the connection again.
If the error persists, then check the permissions of the tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files and parent directories. Usually the .ora files are either -rwxrwxrwx or -rwxrwx---. Change the permissions of the configuration files to 777 to set the permissions to fully open and try the connection again.
If the error persists, then remove all line feeds and carriage returns so that the net alias is on one line, and try again.
Note:
Setting permissions to777 enables anyone on the system to access the configuration files. Do this only as a temporary test and reset the permissions after the test.If the error persists, then redo the configuration as follows:
Set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to /tmp.
Go to the /tmp directory and create a new tnsnames.ora file using a text editor.
Copy the sample tnsnames.ora file from Example 16-1 into the text editor and save the new tnsnames.ora file.
Exit the text editor and at the command line, type:
% sqlplus scott@dev1.world
Enter password: password
Oracle Net Services logs provide detailed information about the source and context of problems. The process of logging and tracing error information helps you to diagnose and resolve network problems.
All errors encountered by Oracle Net Services are appended to a log file for evaluation by a network or database administrator. The log file provides additional information for an administrator about on-screen error messages. The error stack in the log file shows the state of the software at various layers.
To ensure that all errors are recorded, logging cannot be disabled on clients or name servers. Furthermore, only an administrator may replace or erase log files. The log file for the listener includes audit trail information about every client connection request, and most listener control commands.
This section contains the following topics:
Log files provide information contained in an error stack. An error stack refers to the information that is produced by each layer in an Oracle communications stack as the result of a network error.
The error stack components are described in Table 16-8.
Table 16-8 Error Stack Components
Suppose that a user of a client application tries to establish a connection with a database server using Oracle Net and TCP/IP, by entering the following commands:
sqlplus scott@example.com
Enter password: password
When the commands are entered, the following error displays:
ORA-12543: TNS:Unable to connect to destination
This message indicates that the connection to the server failed because the database could not be contacted. Although the application displays only a one-line error message, an error stack that is much more informative is recorded in the log file by the network layer.
On the client side, the sqlnet.log file as shown in Example 16-3 contains an error stack corresponding to the ORA-12543 error.

Oracle Database Net Services ReferenceYou can set logging during control utility run time. Setting logging with a control utility does not set parameters in the *.ora files, and the setting is only valid for the control utility session.
The following settings can be set for a control utility:
For a listener, use the SET LOG_FILE and SET LOG_DIRECTORY commands from the Listener Control utility.
For an Oracle Connection Manager, use the SET LOG_DIRECTORY, SET LOG_LEVEL, and SET EVENT commands from the Oracle Connection Manager control utility.
Note:
IfDIAG_ADR_ENABLED is set to ON, then all logging parameters are set by ADR. Using Oracle Net Manager to change the parameters will not work.See Also:
Oracle Database Net Services ReferenceThe following steps describe how to use a log file to diagnose a network error:
Review the log file for the most recent error number received from the application. This is usually the last entry in the log file.
Starting from the bottom of the file, locate the first nonzero entry in the error report. This is usually the actual cause.
If that error does not provide the information, then review the next error in the log until you locate the correct error information.
If the cause of the error is still not clear, then turn on tracing and repeat the command that produced the error message.
This section describes what is recorded in the listener log file. This section contains the following topics:
The listener log file contains audit trail information that enables you to collect and analyze network usage statistics, as well as information indicating the following:
A client connection request
A RELOAD, START, STOP, STATUS, or SERVICES command issued by the Listener Control utility
You can use audit trail information to view trends and user activity by first storing it in a table and then collating it in a report format. To import the data into a table, use an import utility such as SQL*Loader.
The audit trail formats text into the following fields:
Timestamp * Connect Data [* Protocol Info] * Event [* SID | Service] * Return Code
Properties of the audit trail are as follows:
Each field is delimited by an asterisk (*).
Protocol address information and service name or SID information appear only when a connection is attempted.
A successful connection or command returns a code of zero.
A failure produces a code that maps to an error message.
Example 16-4 shows a log file excerpt with RELOAD command request.
Example 16-4 Listener Log Event for Successful Reload Request
14-MAY-2009 00:29:54 * (connect_data=(cid=(program=)(host=sales-server)(user=jdoe))(command=reload) (arguments=64)(service=listener)(version=135290880)) * reload * 0
Example 16-5 shows a log file excerpt with a successful connection request.
Example 16-5 Listener Log Events for a Successful Connection Request
14-MAY-2009 15:28:58 * (connect_data=(service_name=sales.us.example.com)(cid=(program=)(host=sales-server) (user=jdoe))) * (address=(protocol=tcp)(host=192.168.2.35)(port=41349)) * establish * sales.us.example.com * 0
Example 16-6 shows a log file excerpt with a successful execution of the STATUS command by host sales-server. It is followed by an unsuccessful connection attempt by a client with an IP address of 192.168.2.35. This connection attempt resulted in an ORA-12525: TNS:listener has not received client's request in time allowed error message. This error occurs when a client fails to complete its connection request in the time specified by the INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_listener_name parameter in the listener.ora file. This client could be attempting a denial-of-service attack on the listener.
Example 16-6 Listener Log Events for an Unsuccessful Connection Request
03-MAY-2009 16:41:57 * (CONNECT_DATA=(CID=(PROGRAM=)(HOST=sales-server)(USER=jdoe))(COMMAND=status) (ARGUMENTS=64)(SERVICE=LISTENER)(VERSION=153092352)) * status * 0 03-MAY-2009 16:42:35 * <unknown connect data> * (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=192.168.2.35)(PORT=53208)) * establish * <unknown sid> * 12525 TNS-12525: TNS:listener has not received client's request in time allowed TNS-12604: TNS: Application timeout occurred

Oracle Database Error Messages for a complete listing of error messagesThe listener records service registration events. During service registration, the PMON process provides the listener with information about the following:
Service names for each running instance of the database
Instance names of the database
Service handlers (dispatchers or dedicated servers) available
Dispatcher, instance, and node load information
Dynamic listening endpoints
The recorded service registration-related events listed in Table 16-14 are listed in the listener.log file.
Table 16-14 Service Registration Event Log Information
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
|
The listener received registration information for an instance. |
|
|
The listener received updated registration information for a particular instance, such as dispatcher or instance load information. |
|
|
The listener lost its connection to PMON. All registration information for the instance is discarded. Clients will be unable to connect to the instance until PMON registers it again. |
The service registration events are formatted into the following fields:
Timestamp * Event * Instance Name * Return Code
Properties of service registration fields are as follows:
Each field is delimited by an asterisk (*).
It is normal for the events to appear multiple times in a row for one instance.
A successful registration returns a code of zero, meaning the client can connect to the instance.
A failure produces a code that maps to an error message.
Example 16-7 shows a log file with service registration events. The listener is able to receive a client request after a successful service_register event, but is unable to receive client requests after a service_died event.

Oracle Database Error Messages for a complete listing of error messagesThe listener records direct hand-off events to dispatchers. These events are formatted into the following fields:
Timestamp * Presentation * Handoff * Error Code
Properties of direct hand-off fields are as follows:
Each field is delimited by an asterisk (*).
A successful connection or command returns a code of zero.
A failure produces a code that maps to an error message.
Example 16-8 shows a direct hand-off event in the log file.
Listener subscribes to the Oracle Notification Service (ONS) node down event on startup if the ONS configuration file is available. This subscription enables the listener to remove the affected service when it receives node down event notification from ONS. The listener uses asynchronous subscription for the event notification.
The following warning message is recorded to the listener log file on each STATUS command if the subscription has not completed; for example if the ONS daemon is not running on the host.
WARNING: Subscription for node down event still pending
The listener cannot receive the ONS event while subscription is pending. Other than that, no other listener functionality is affected.
If the required Oracle Clusterware (CRS in the following log messages) libraries are installed and Oracle Clusterware is started on the host, then Oracle Listener will notify Oracle Clusterware about its status during start and stop processes. After successful notification, listeners record the event in the log. No message is recorded if the notification fails.
Listener completed notification to CRS on start Listener completed notification to CRS on stop
Oracle Connection Manager generates four types of log files: one each for its listener, gateway, CMADMIN processes and one for alerts. The last is a chronological record of all critical errors. In addition to logging critical errors, the alert log captures information about instance startup and shutdown. It also records the value of all configuration parameters at the beginning and end of a session.
The CMADMIN and gateway log files are reproduced here. Table 16-15, "CMADMIN and Gateway Log Entries" explains log entries. Each entry consists of a timestamp and an event. You can configure cman.ora to log events for the following categories:
Initialization and termination
Memory operations
Connection handling
Process management
Registration and load update
Events related to CMADMIN wakeup queue
Gateway timeouts
Command processing
Events associated with connection control blocks
Use the SET EVENT command to specify which events to log.
Example 16-9 shows a typical CMADMIN log.

Tracing produces a detailed sequence of statements that describe network events as they are run. Tracing an operation enables you to obtain more information about the internal operations of the components of Oracle Net Services than is provided in a log file. This information is output to files that can be evaluated to identify the events that led to an error.
Note:
Tracing uses a large amount of disk space and may have a significant impact upon system performance. Therefore, you should enable tracing only when necessary.This section contains the following topics:
Each Oracle Net Services component produces its own trace file. Table 16-16 provides the default trace file names and lists the components that generate the trace files.

Configure tracing parameters for the sqlnet.ora file with Oracle Net Manager and listener.ora file with either Oracle Enterprise Manager or Oracle Net Manager. You must manually configure cman.ora file tracing parameters.
This section contains the following topics:
Setting Tracing Parameters for sqlnet.ora File Using Oracle Net Manager
Setting Tracing Parameters for the Listener Using Oracle Enterprise Manager
Setting Tracing Parameters for the Listener Using Oracle Net Manager
The following procedure describes how to set the tracing parameters for the sqlnet.ora file using Oracle Net Manager:
Start Oracle Net Manager.
In the navigator pane, expand Profile under the Local heading.
From the list in the right pane, select General.
Click the Tracing tab.
Specify the settings.
Choose Save Network Configuration from the File menu.
The name of the trace file for the client is sqlnet.trc. The name of the trace file for the server is svr_pid.trc.
The following procedure describes how to set the tracing parameters for the listener using Oracle Enterprise Manager:
Access the Oracle Net Administration page in Oracle Enterprise Manager.
Select Listeners from the Administer list, and then select the Oracle home that contains the location of the configuration files.
Click Go to display the Listeners page.
Select a listener, and then click Edit to display the Edit Listeners page.
Click the Logging & Tracing tab.
Specify the settings.
Click OK.
The name of the trace file is listener.trc.
The following procedure describes how to set the tracing parameters for the listener using Oracle Net Manager:
Start Oracle Net Manager.
In the navigator pane, expand Listeners from the Local heading.
Select a listener.
From the list in the right pane, select General.
Click the Logging and Tracing tab.
Specify the settings.
Choose Save Network Configuration from the File menu.
You can set tracing during control utility run time. Setting tracing with a control utility does not set parameters in the *.ora files. The setting is only valid for the session of the control utility:
For the listener, use the SET TRC_DIRECTORY, SET TRC_FILE, and SET TRC_LEVEL commands from the Listener Control utility.
For an Oracle Connection Manager, use the SET TRACE_DIRECTORY and SET TRACE_LEVEL, and SET TRACE_TIMESTAMP commands from the Oracle Connection Manager control utility.
Trace files can help Oracle Support Services diagnose and troubleshoot network problems. This section explains how to perform basic analysis of trace files. It contains the following topics:
Oracle Net performs its functions by sending and receiving data packets. You can view the actual contents of the Oracle Net packet in your trace file by specifying a trace level of support. The order of the packet types sent and received will help you to determine how the connection was established.
Each line in the trace file begins with a procedure followed by a message. Following each procedure is a line of hexadecimal data representing actual data. The actual data that flows inside the packet is sometimes viewable to the right of the hexadecimal data.
Each packet has a keyword that denotes the packet type. All packet types begin with the prefix "nsp". This is helpful when reviewing trace files for specific packet information. The following keywords are used in a trace file:
NSPTCN: Used with Connect packet types.
NSPTAC: Used with Accept packet types.
NSPTRF: Used with Refuse packet types.
NSPTRS: Used with Resend packet types.
NSPTDA: Used with Data packet types.
NSPCNL: Used with Control packet types.
NSPTMK: Used with Marker packet types.
Example 16-11 provides typical packet information. In the example, the nscon procedure sends an NSPTCN packet over the network.

Note:
In the error stack in the preceding example, an operating system error code is shown. Each operating system has its own error codes, refer to your system documentation for information about the operating system error codes for your operating system.The most efficient way to evaluate error codes is to find the most recent nserror entry logged, as the session layer controls the connection. The most important error messages are the ones at the bottom of the file. They are the most recent errors and the source of the problem with the connection.
For information about the specific return codes, use the Oracle error tool oerr, by entering the following at any command line:
oerr tns error_number
As an example, consider the following nserror entry logged in the trace file shown in Example 16-12:
[22-MAY-2009 13:35:09:625] nserror: nsres: id=0, op=68, ns=12537, ns2=12560; nt[0]=507, nt[1]=0, nt[2]=0; ora[0]=0, ora[1]=0, ora[2]=0
In the preceding entry, the main TNS error is 12537, and its secondary error is 12560. The protocol adapter error is 507. Using oerr, you can find out more information about return codes 12537, 12560, and 507. User input is shown in bold in the following examples.
oerr tns 12537 12537, 00000, "TNS:connection closed" // *Cause: "End of file" condition has been reached; partner has disconnected. // *Action: None needed; this is an information message. oerr tns 12560 12560, 00000, "TNS:protocol adapter error" // *Cause: A generic protocol adapter error occurred. // *Action: Check addresses used for proper protocol specification. Before // reporting this error, look at the error stack and check for lower level // transport errors. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the // operation. Turn off tracing when the operation is complete. oerr tns 507 00507, 00000, "Connection closed" // *Cause: Normal "end of file" condition has been reached; partner has // disconnected. // *Action: None needed; this is an information message.
Oracle Net Services provides a tool called the Trace Assistant to help you understand the information provided in trace files by converting existing lines of trace file text into a more readable paragraph. The Trace Assistant works only with level 16 (support) Oracle Net Services trace files. The Trace Assistant can work with ADR tracing files and non-ADR tracing files.
This section contains the following topics:
To run the Trace Assistant, enter the following command at any command line prompt:
trcasst [options] filename
The options are described in Table 16-22.
Table 16-22 Trace Assistant Syntax
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
|
-elevel |
Displays error information. After the
|
|
-la |
If a connection ID exists in the NS connect packet, then the output displays the connection IDs. Connection IDs are displayed as hexadecimal, eight-byte IDs. A generated ID is created by Trace Assistant if the packet is not associated with any connection, that is, the connect packet is overwritten in the trace file. This can occur with cyclic trace files. For each ID, the output lists the following:
Notes:
|
|
-li ID |
Displays the trace for a particular ID from the Note: Only use this option with output from the |
|
-otype |
Displays the amount and type of information to be output. After the
Note: As output for |
|
-s |
Displays the following statistical information:
|
If no options are provided, then the default is -odt -e0 -s, which provides detailed connectivity and TTC events, error level zero (0), and statistics in the trace file.
Example 16-13 shows how the Trace Assistant converts the trace file information into a more readable format using the -e1 option.

12541, 00000 "TNS:no listener"
// *Cause: The connection request could not be completed because the listener
// is not running.
// *Action: Ensure that the supplied destination address matches one of
// the addresses used by the listener - compare the TNSNAMES.ORA entry with
// the appropriate LISTENER.ORA file (or TNSNAV.ORA if the connection is to
// go by way of an Interchange). Start the listener on the remote machine.

12560, 00000 "TNS:protocol adapter error"
// *Cause: A generic protocol adapter error occurred.
// *Action: Check addresses used for proper protocol specification. Before
// reporting this error, look at the error stack and check for lower level
// transport errors.For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the
// operation. Turn off tracing when the operation is complete.
/
00511, 00000 "No listener"
// *Cause: The connect request could not be completed because no application
// is listening on the address specified, or the application is unable to
// service the connect request in a sufficiently timely manner.
// *Action: Ensure that the supplied destination address matches one of
// the addresses used by the listener - compare the TNSNAMES.ORA entry with

The packets being sent or received have a prefix of ---> Send nnn bytes or <--- Received nnn bytes showing that this node is sending or receiving a packet of a certain type and with nnn number of bytes. This prefix enables you to determine if the node is the client or the database server. The connection request is always sent by the client, and received by the database server or listener.

TTC handles requests such as open cursor, select rows, and update rows that are directed to the database server. All requests are answered by the database server. If you request to log in, then a response is returned from the database server that the request was completed.
Summary information for TTC from the -ou option is different from other displays in that it shows two packets on each line, rather than one. This is done to mirror the request/response pairings process by which TTC operates.
Output is displayed in the following format:
description TTC_message cursor_number SQL_statement bytes_sent bytes_received
Example 16-16 shows all of the details sent along with the connect data in negotiating a connection.
