Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> ORA-12500 & ORA-12500
Env: VMS 6.1, Oracle7.0.16, DECNet TCP/IP Adapter 2.1.
Hi all,
I'm trying to get my listener to accept both DECNet and TCP/IP connections. So far it has rejected all TCP/IP connections. DECNet connections are ok.
ORA-12500: TNS: listener failed to start a dedicated server process
SQLNET.ORA has USE_DEDICATED_SERVER=OFF so I don't understand why it should even attempt to start a dedicated server!
I've done a lot of checks, bounced the listeners many times, and talked to Oracle for days on end. Still can't get it to work. So question is: have you got TCP/IP Adapter 2.1 to talk to Oracle 7.0.16?
TIA,
Leng.
