Connection Timeout using thin client

jaagJun 21 2016 — edited Jun 21 2016

Hello,

In one of our legacy database/application we are getting ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred from app server, app is getting connected using thin client (i.e there is no Oracle client installed). I was troubleshooting this issue with instant client and this is the outcome.

When I tried to connect through sqlplus with a TNS entry, I get ORA-12170

[root@app1 | 08:26:36 instantclient_10_2]$ ./bin/sqlplus system@EPDB

SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.5.0 - Production on Tue Jun 21 08:26:46 2016

ERROR:
ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred

When I tried to connect through sqlplus with the connection string am getting connected

[root@app1 | 08:27:58 instantclient_10_2]$ ./bin/sqlplus system@'(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL =TCP)(HOST=e68)(PORT=1521))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=e69)(PORT=1521))(FAILOVER=on)(LOAD_BALANCE=on)(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=EPDB)))'
