NT Error Messages (TNS-00501 to 00999)

TNS-00501 Cannot allocate memory

Cause:Sufficient memory could not be allocated to perform the desired activity.
Action:Either free some resource for TNS or add more memory to the machine. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation.
TNS-00502 Invalid argument

Cause:An internal function received an invalid parameter.
Action:Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation. If error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.
TNS-00503 Illegal ADDRESS parameters

Cause:An illegal set of protocol adapter parameters was specified.
Action:Check the parameters within the ADDRESS section of the TNSNAMES.ORA file. It may be helpful to turn on tracing and look at the addresses specified in the trace file, checking for spelling or other errors. Be sure to turn tracing off when the trace is complete.
TNS-00504 Operation not supported

Cause:An internal function received a request to perform an operation that is not supported (on this machine).
Action:Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation. If error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.
TNS-00505 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.
TNS-00506 Operation would block

Cause:An internal operation did not commence because to do so would block the current process and the user has requested that operations be non-blocking.
Action:None needed; this is an information message.
TNS-00507 Connection closed

Cause:Normal "end of file" condition has been reached; partner has disconnected.
Action:None needed; this is an information message.
TNS-00508 No such protocol adapter

Cause:The protocol adapter requested for this connection does not exist.
Action:Install the protocol adapter or use one that is available. Be sure that the correct protocols are listed in the configuration files.
TNS-00509 Buffer overflow

Cause:Too much data for buffer.
Action:Reexecute with larger receive buffer or smaller send buffer.
TNS-00510 Internal limit restriction exceeded

Cause:Too many files or sockets open simultaneously (or some other resource has been depleted).

TNS-00511 No listener

Cause:The connection request could not be completed because no application is listening on the address specified, or the application is unable to service the connect request in a sufficiently timely manner.
Action:Ensure that the supplied destination address matches one of the addresses used by the listener -- compare the TNSNAMES.ORA entry with the appropriate LISTENER.ORA file (or TNSNAV.ORA if the connection is to go by way of an Interchange). Start the listener on the remote machine.
TNS-00512 Address already in use

Cause:Specified listener address is already being used.
Action:Start your listener with an unused address.
TNS-00513 Destination host unreachable

Cause:Contact cannot be made with remote party.
Action:Make sure the network driver is functioning and the network is up.
TNS-00514 Contexts have different wait/test functions

Action:Check the syntax of the connect descriptor for correct syntax.
TNS-00521 Missing keyword

Cause:The supplied connect descriptor is missing one or more TNS keywords.
Action:Check the syntax, and ensure all required keywords are present.
