Look them up on http://www.ora-code.com/ or www.google.com.

Then you get the basic cause/action description, like for example :

ORA-12519:	TNS:no appropriate service handler found
Cause:	The listener could not find any available service 
        handlers that are appropriate for the client 
        connection.
Action:	Run "lsnrctl services" to ensure that the instance(s) 
        have registered with the listener, and are 
        accepting connections.

Thomas,Thanks for the link.It was indeed very helpful
Now something related to an error message,which I am not clear about.Pls see below:-

ORA-12519: TNS:no appropriate service handler found 
Cause: The listener could not find any available service handlers that are appropriate for the client connection. 
Action: Run "lsnrctl services" to ensure that the instance(s) have registered with the listener, and are accepting connections.

In the above, what is, lsnrctl services and where is it located?How will I run it and how will I check it?

Hi,
Most possible reason for below 4 errors message. or if I say whenever you recevied below four errors first check ...

1. ORA-12519: TNS:no appropriate service handler found 

Suggestion: Increase PROCESSES parameter value. (It is not modifiable parameter means you have to shutdown/startup for change processes parameter.
or 
Check LISTENER.LOG file.

2. ORA-12514: TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in -connect descriptor

Suggestion: Change listener registration from DYNAMIC to STATIC.
http://dbataj.blogspot.com/2007/02/ora-12514.html
or
sometime you will get this error when database is not open

3. ORA-12541: TNS:no listener

Suggestion: start your listener LSNRCTL START

4. ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

Suggestion: start Oracle Services. NET START OracleServiceSID
or
If database created through manually then first set ORACLE_SID enviourment variable.

Regards
Mohammed Taj
