RE: Trolling for ideas

Jerry - Thanks for your reply. Yes Jeff Herrick did reply, and even explained why it would be futile in this specific situation.

Hi Dennis,

"Does anyone know how to turn on client-side SQL*Net tracing?"

Did anybody get back to you on this? Set these paramters in your sqlnet.ora file on the client you want to trace:

TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT = support
trace_file_client=abfp_trace.txt
trace_directory_client=c:\orant\net80\admin

Does anyone know how to turn on client-side SQL*Net tracing?

Jeff - Thanks for your idea. We were able to find the sqlnet.log file, which I was unable to find previously. It does have the TNS-12560 error you predicted. The network guys think they have the switch port hard-coded to 100Mb/s full duplex, but are checking further.

   However, in the sqlnet.log, it says PROTOCOL=BEQ. Does anyone have any idea where that is coming from? In the tnsnames.ora file we have TCP. In the documentation it looks like BEQ is used when the listener and server are on the same node. It is true that both the listener and server are on the same Alpha server, so is this message normal?

Thanks to everyone for the great ideas that you have provided on this issue.

Dennis

Is there an sqlnet.log file tossed up on the VB client that has a TNS-12203 (unable to connect to destination) error?

If so, make sure that the switch port the Alpha is plugged into has been hard-coded to 100Mb/s full duplex.

Known problem with Alpha/Cisco gear...

Just a shot in the dark...but this solved a lot of Maximo crash issues for us.

Cheers
