Hi,
I have a clean install of EM Grid Control with a new database option on a new server. Also installed with the database, are the OMS as well as the Agent on the same server. I am able to connect and perform all the operation from the Grid Control including discovering targets, setting up backups etc etc. I am also able to connect to the database from sqlplus session and perform all the sql operations without any problem to the repository database.

But, when I try to connect to the database from command line, I am getting "ORA-12560 TNS:protocol adapter error". When verified the sqlnet.log file, I noticed that the SID is pointing to ORCL and the sqlplus PROGRAM is being run from bin directory of OMS10g. We specified the SID as "EMREP" and not "ORCL" during the initial setup.
There is only one tnsnames.ora file which is residing in db10g home and has only one entry for the EMREP database.
Does anyone have a clue as to why the SQLPLUS program from command line is looking into OMS10g home instead of DB10g home?
Thanks for your help.

and what happens when you try to use a fully qualified connect string like scott/tiger@EMREP?

When issued with scott/tiger@emrep I get,

SQL*Plus: Release 10.1.0.4.2 - Production on Thu Jan 11 14:06:47 2007

Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.

ERROR:

I tried with sys user and get the same error as above.

Hi,
ORA-12560 TNS:protocol adapter error
Are you check your oracle services is start ? if services is stop then start first.

and problem still exists then post tnsnames.ora , listener.ora files.

First check oracle env variables,(ORACLE_SID,ORACLE_HOME)

http://www.easywebtech.com/artical/ORACLE_environment_variables.html

If that is correct , check tns and listener,
