ORA-12518: TNS:listener could not hand off client connection
AnkitVDec 29 2012 — edited Jan 14 2013Hi All
I am facing error "ORA-12518: TNS:listener could not hand off client connection" while using 10G R2 XE edition on Win 7 64bit.
I know XE is 32bit, my OS is 64bit but it was working properly till last week when I had to format my system. Now its not working.
I know there have been similar discussions on this topic, but none resolution worked for me.
Here is my listener.ora
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(DIRECT_HANDOFF_TTC_LISTENER=OFF)
)
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = XE)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server)
(PROGRAM = ORCL)
(DIRECT_HANDOFF_TTC_LISTENER=XE)
)
)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
# (DIRECT_HANDOFF_TTC_LISTENER=OFF)
)
)
Here is TNSNAMES.ORA
xe =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = dedicated)
(SERVICE_NAME = xe)
)
)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
)
)
ORACLR_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = CLRExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
)
)
Here is o/p of lsnrctl status:
