Hi,
We are using Oracle 10g on linux 64 bit, client is on XP, using Oracle sql developer to connect to database through vpn, we have only allowed access to 1521 port of database

Client is frequently disconnecting

Initially client connected, then start disconnecting after 20 minutes.

Client side sqlnet.ora has following entry
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)

Client side Tnsnames.ora has following entry

dd12 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.98.51)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(Sid = dd12)
)
)

Following is the entry in sqlnet.ora in Database server

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES)
SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT=0
sqlnet.expire_time = 10


Following is the entry in tnsnames.ora file of database server

# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: /home/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

dd12=
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ph1.abc.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SID = dd12)
)
)


dd13=
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ph2.abc.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = dd13)
)
)


EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
)
)



Following entry in Listener.ora

# listener.ora Network Configuration File: /home/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/admin/listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /home/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
)

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ph1.abc.com)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
)
)
INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER = 0

lsnrctl status command is giving following

Have you checked all the standard actions for the errors.

oracle ~ $ oerr TNS 12170
12170, 00000, "TNS:Connect timeout occurred"
// *Cause:  The server shut down because connection establishment or
// communication with a client failed to complete within the allotted time
// interval. This may be a result of network or system delays; or this may
// indicate that a malicious client is trying to cause a Denial of Service
// attack on the server.
// *Action: If the error occurred because of a slow network or system,
// reconfigure one or all of the parameters SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT,
// SQLNET.SEND_TIMEOUT, SQLNET.RECV_TIMEOUT in sqlnet.ora to larger values.
// If a malicious client is suspected, use the address in sqlnet.log to
// identify the source and restrict access. Note that logged addresses may
// not be reliable as they can be forged (e.g. in TCP/IP).

oracle ~ $ oerr TNS 12535
12535, 00000, "TNS:operation timed out"
// *Cause: The requested operation could not be completed within the time out
// period.
// *Action: Look at the documentation on the secondary errors for possible
// remedy. See SQLNET.LOG to find secondary error if not provided explicitly.
// Turn on tracing to gather more information.

oracle ~ $ oerr TNS 12560
12560, 00000, "TNS:protocol adapter error"
// *Cause: A generic protocol adapter error occurred.
// *Action: Check addresses used for proper protocol specification. Before
// reporting this error, look at the error stack and check for lower level
// transport errors. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the
// operation. Turn off tracing when the operation is complete.

oracle ~ $ oerr TNS 00505
00505, 00000, "Operation timed out"
// *Cause: The requested operation could not be completed within the timeout
// period.
// *Action: For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation.

oracle ~ $ oerr TNS 110
00110, 00000, "Could not initialize network from file TNSNET.ORA"
// *Cause: Poorly formed network information in network file.
// *Action: Fix network configuration data to assure that at least one
// Interchange is defined in TNSNET.ORA.

I have set parameter SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT=0 and sqlnet.expire_time = 10 in sqlnet.ora on server side
and INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER=0 in listener.ora

Problem & solution are external to Oracle.
You need to work with local Network Administrator to resolve this.

As a test start a SQL*NET connection from the DB Server to the DB Server bypassing the VPN.

If this connection does not error out & stays up, it points to the VPN at least being involved with errors.

Besides nobody else has these problems; only your environment.

You can't fix network errors by tweaking Oracle.

Well, a laggy network *could* be compensated up to a point by increasing SQLNET.SEND_TIMEOUT and/or SQLNET.RECV_TIMEOUT.

But when the VPN connection is lost and then re-connected then oracle would have to re-connect, too.

You could perhaps convince them by running a PING in another window, and then have a look if the ping is also lost when the Oracle connection is lost.

They are connected with test database, and not disconnected in the same vpn.
