Hi,
I'm running Oracle 8.1.6.3.0 with the 8.1.6.3.5 patch on W2K/SP3.
My problem is that I'm loosing connection to the PLSExtProc via TNS name EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA, although anything in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora seems to be configured correctly.
The symptoms are as follows:
- start TNSListener Service
- start SQL*PLUS
- login to my DB as user ctxsys
- do a 'exec ctx_output.start_log('alfactx_basketfile.log');'
=> succeeds
- do a 'exec ctx_output.end_log;'
=> succeeds too
(that's why I expect my NETWORK config to be correct)
- quit SQL*PLUS
- start SQL*PLUS again
- login to my DB as user ctxsys
- do a 'exec ctx_output.start_log('alfactx_basketfile.log');'
=> *
=> ERROR in line 1:
=> ORA-20000: interMedia Text error:
=> DRG-50704: Net8 listener is not running or cannot start external procedures
=> ORA-28575: unable to open RPC connection to external procedure agent
=> ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name .
=> ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.DRUE", line 126
=> ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.CTX_OUTPUT", line 39
=> ORA-06512: at Zeile 1
(sometimes this happens not after the second start of SQL*PLUS but after the 3rd...)
After a restart of TNSListener service 'ctx_output.start_log' will again succeed on the first try...
BTW even when SQL*PLUS shows this problem, 'tnsping extproc_connection_data 5' still works fine.
Any idea, what went wrong??
Many thanks in advance
Michael

Well, seems to be a communication/tns problem instead of an intermedia text issue. Should move this thread to oracle.server... :-)
As soon as I switch the communication protocol for the PLSExtProc from IPC to TCP/IP, everything works fine!
So somewhat breaks my IPC. But what? Ans suggestions?
BTW a second W2K/SP3 PC doesn't show this kind of problem at all... weird
