Oracle Tools for Debugging Problems

There's a lot of command line tools that come with Oracle (even the local XE version) that can help you check your connection and debug connection issues. Read on to learn more.

There's a lot of command line tools that come with Oracle (even the local XE version) that can help you check your connection and debug connection issues.

You should try to connect with sqlplus and with SQL Developer first. After that, if you are running a Java program make sure it has permissions, in Windows perhaps Admin privileges, and make sure if you are on an IPv4 stack that you have disabled IPv6. Unless, of course, you are using IPv6 in your local network.

-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

To Check if Oracle is working, first check the Oracle Services:

C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\bin>LSNRCTL.EXE

LSNRCTL> services

Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=EXTPROC1)))

Services Summary...

Service "CLRExtProc" has 1 instance(s).

Instance "CLRExtProc", status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service...

Handler(s):

"DEDICATED" established:0 refused:0

LOCAL SERVER

Service "PLSExtProc" has 1 instance(s).

Instance "PLSExtProc", status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service...

Handler(s):

"DEDICATED" established:0 refused:0

LOCAL SERVER

Service "XEXDB" has 1 instance(s).

Instance "xe", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...

Handler(s):

"D000" established:0 refused:0 current:0 max:1022 state:ready

DISPATCHER <machine: TSPANN-LAPTOP, pid: 3868>

(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=tspann-laptop)(PORT=1040))

Service "xe" has 1 instance(s).

Instance "xe", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...

Handler(s):

"DEDICATED" established:1149 refused:0 state:ready

LOCAL SERVER

The command completed successfully

LSNRCTL> quit

That will give you a list of instances that you can then check to see if something is actually running there.  TNSPing will then let you check to see if the service or database listed is running and listening.
