TNS-12557: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00527: Protocol Adapter not loadable
Reason
TCPS Support for Oracle SE not enabled.
Solution
Enable TCPS support using the following steps:
1. In $ORACLE_HOME/lib, backup libntcps11.a:
[oracle@skybase ~]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/lib
[oracle@skybase lib]$ cp libntcps11.a libntcps11.a.backup
2. Replace libntcps11.a with libntcps11_ee.a.dbl
[oracle@skybase lib]$ cp libntcps11_ee.a.dbl libntcps11.a
[oracle@skybase lib]$ ls -al libntcps*
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 306314 Aug 14 16:31 libntcps11.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 296986 Aug 14 16:30 libntcps11.a.backup
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 306314 Jul 15 2013 libntcps11_ee.a.dbl
3. Stop all running processes from Oracle home:
$ srvctl stop database -d orcl
4. Relink
[oracle@skybase lib]$ pwd
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/lib
[oracle@skybase lib]$ relink all
writing relink log to: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/install/relink.log
5. Start all previously stopped services and try to start listener again:
[oracle@skybase lib]$ srvctl start database -d orcl
[oracle@skybase lib]$ lsnrctl start LISTENER_TCPS
