TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

ORA-609 : opiodr aborting process unknown ospid (2230_87567)

·         Details on the ORA-609 error, see MOSC note 1121357.1.

As a general error, the ORA-609 error indicates that a client connection failed to complete.  This can be an ORA-609 from an abort or killing an Oracle session.  

To diagnose any error, you start by using the OERR UTILITY to display the ORA-609 error:

Example :

bash-3.2$ oerr ora 609

00609, 00000, "could not attach to incoming connection"

// *Cause:  Oracle process could not answer incoming connection

// *Action: If the situation described in the next error on the stack

//         can be corrected, do so; otherwise contact Oracle Support.

The ORA-609 error is thrown when a client connection of any kind failed to complete or aborted the connection process before the server process was completely spawned. Beginning with 10gR2, a default value for inbound connect timeout has been set at 60 seconds.  This is also triggered when a DB session is killed/aborted manually from the OS prompt.

Solution:

Increase the values for INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT at both listener and server side sqlnet.ora file as a preventive measure.

If the problem is due to connection timeouts, and increase in the following parameters should eliminate or reduce the occurrence of the ORA-609 error.

ü  Sqlnet.ora: SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT=180

ü  Listener.ora: INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_listener_name=120

ORA-12560: 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 re-execute the operation. Turn off tracing when the operation is complete.

Expected Fix :

1.             Check environment variable like $ORACLE_HOME, $PATH, $ORACLE_BASE

2.             TNS_ADMIN is set properly

3.             Verify firewall that not blocking ports

4.             Check permission
