a beginner's question..

Hi there,

I set up an Oracle server and now I want to run an instance and connect to the database.

This is the cmd file I run:
---------------------------
set ORACLE_SID=ifmH
F:\orant\v816\bin\oradim -delete -sid ifmH
pause
erase f:\orant\v816\database\pwdifmh.ora
pause
F:\orant\v816\bin\oradim -new -sid ifmH -intpwd hofem -startmode auto -pfile F:\orant\v816\database\initifmH.ora
pause
F:\orant\v816\bin\oradim -startup -sid ifmH -starttype srvc,inst -usrpwd hofem -pfile F:\orant\v816\database\initifmH.ora
pause
F:\orant\v816\bin\svrmgrl @ifmHrun.sql
-------------------------------------


These is the output, ending up in an error:
-------------------------------------------
F:\orant\DATABASE>set ORACLE_SID=ifmH

F:\orant\DATABASE>F:\orant\v816\bin\oradim -delete -sid ifmH

F:\orant\DATABASE>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

F:\orant\DATABASE>erase f:\orant\v816\database\pwdifmh.ora

F:\orant\DATABASE>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

F:\orant\DATABASE>F:\orant\v816\bin\oradim -new -sid ifmH -intpwd hofem -startmode auto -pfile F:\orant\v816\database\initifmH.ora

F:\orant\DATABASE>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

F:\orant\DATABASE>F:\orant\v816\bin\oradim -startup -sid ifmH -starttype srvc,inst -usrpwd hofem -pfile F:\orant\v816\database\initifmH.ora
DIM-00011: The service does not exists
O/S-Error: (OS 5) Access is denied.
-------------------------------------
Can somebody explain what I am doing wrong? If more information is required, pls ask. I spent quite some time on this...

Thank you

I tried to connect using SVRMGRL, but it returns the following an error:
 
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adaptor error
I tried to connect using SVRMGRL, but it returns the following an error:
 
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adaptor error
ORA-12560 is usualy a listener problem.

configure listener:

go to f:\orant\v816\network\admin,
edit listener.ora (make sure you backup it up)
and insert lines:

### START OF LISTENER.ORA FILE ###
listener=(address_list=
        (address=
                (protocol=ipc)
                (key=ifmH)
        )
        (address=
                (protocol=tcp)
                (host=<machine_ip>)
                (port=1521)
        )
)
sid_list_listener=(sid_list=
   (sid_desc=
      (sid_name=imfH)
      (oracle_home=f:\orant\v816)
   )
)
startup_wait_time_listener=0
connect_timeout_listener=10
trace_level_listener_listener=off
### END OF LISTENER.ORA FILE ###

goto dos prompt:
D:\> lsnrctl stop
D:\> lsnrctl start

try the whole process from the begining.

regards,
dbaora.
I replaced the original listener.ora:

# LISTENER.ORA Network Configuration File: F:\orant\v816\network\admin\listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS_LIST =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ntifm01)(PORT = 1521))
      )
    )
  )
# end of file

with your sample and changed <machine_ip> to the server's ip address.

however...
>lsnlctl [enter]
results in:
-----------

Starting tnslsnr: please wait...

Failed to start service, error 5.

If you are trying to start the db instance on the same box and you receive 'tns protocol adapter' error, then check for 2 things.

- open a command window
- see whether your oracle related service is started or not. If not, then start it.
- check whether oracle_sid env variable is set to your sid value.
C:\> set oracle_sid=ifmH

Thanx dbaora,

Unfortunately I didn't manage to fix the problem by reading the comments on this topic. I reinstalled the whole thing - which took alot of time - and now it works. But I'll grant you this topic for the efforts.
