Question:
I am attempting to connect to my Oracle
database and I get the ORA-03135 error:
ORA-03135: connection lost contact tips
What can I do to avoid the ORA-03135 error?
Answer:
The
oerr utility shows this for the ORA-03135 error:
ORA-03135: connection lost contact
Cause: 1) Server unexpectedly terminated or was forced to
terminate.
or 2) Server timed out the
connection.
Action: 1) Check if the server session was
terminated.
2) Check if the
timeout parameters are set properly in
sqlnet.ora.
The ORA-03135 error is common when connecting remotely when a
firewall terminates the connection.
One solution for the ORA-03135 error is to increase the value of
the
sqlnet.ora expire_time parameter in the sqlnet.ora file or to
check for a
expire parameter in a SQL*Plus profile.
To diagnose the ORA-03135 error, start by checking to see if the
OS PID
still exists, using the ps –ef|grep syntax.
Check to see if there is a Network Address Translation (NAT)
between the client and server
In Windows, check to see if a Windows firewall is checking for
your local connections:
Windows XP -> Control panel -> security -> Tab
"Advanced"
Also, setting the parameters sqlnet.inbound_connect_timeout
and inbound_connect_timeout_listenername to 0 can stop the
ORA-03135 error.
