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

Seems like either your TNSNAMES.ORA or LISTENER.ORA files are incorrectly configured. Also could be that the system is missing an Oracle protocol adapter that may need installing.
