i am getting this error while starting OracleMTSRecoveryService :
Could not start the OracleMTSRecoveryService service on Local Computer.
Error 1: Incorrect function.*
Also during installation of ODAC service start failed.
OracleXETNSListener is also not starting. i have reinstalled ODAC but problem remains.
any suggestions? Any service conflicts?
Look at the registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle\OracleMTSRecoveryService\Protid_0\ and make sure that the host name matches your machine name.
If you have Windows 7 the registry path is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\OracleMTSRecoveryService\Protid_0
This worked for me as well, but the registry path was wrong. I'm running Windows 7 and the Oracle 11gR2 client and the registry path is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\OracleMTSRecoveryService\Protid_0
Here is the registry file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\OracleMTSRecoveryService\Protid_0]
"Name"="HTTP"
"Host"="putyourmachinesnamehere.com"
"Port"="2030"
I have windows 7, i had same problem but the reason of my problem was, i deleted the original oracle folder from C:\app------\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN\omtsreco.exe, so that is why it was failing.
these steps worked for me :)
This worked for me in Windows 7:
Open your Registry Editor window running command: regedit
Keep error window opened while you change the following registry-key value:
"Computer\hkey_local_machine\system\controlset001\service\OracleMTSRecoveryService".
I did open up regedit and the server name was wrong because I was trying to install the Oracle 11g software on a clone copy of our production server. So the hostname was still matching that of the production server. I right clicked on Host and choosed modify then changed the server name to my current(cloned) server name
I had the same problem and my issue was that the host name was wrong in my tnsnames and listener folders from C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\network\ADMIN
This happened after a domain migration of my computer as it's name changed.
In my case it helped to set the Oracle installation folder to the PATH environment variable, e.g. to c:\oracle\odac.
This worked for me in Windows 7:
1. Open your Registry Editor window running command: regedit
2. Keep error window opened while you change the following registry-key value:
"Computer\hkey_local_machine\system\controlset001\service\OracleMTSRecoveryService".
3. Search for ImagePath Value and change the path to where your Oracle is actually installed. In y case is C:\app\myuser\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN\omtsreco.exe "OracleMTSRecoveryService"
4. Go back to error window and click in Retry.
And fixed it!
to AndrewB Thanks very much - this worked for me.
I also got there using procmon.exe from sysinternals filter :
process=omtsreco.exe then filtered to view only registry entries.... Had to update the hostname (full computer name of the server) by the new one.
Thanks again.
Just changed following registries:
Step 1. : Update path in registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\controlset001\service\OracleMTSRecoveryService
Set appropriate imagepath entry for file omtsreco.exe
In my case it's : `E:\app1\NAL65\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN
Step 2. : Update host in registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\ORACLE\OracleMTSRecoveryService\Protid_0
it may be deffer for you like:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\OracleMTSRecoveryService\Protid_0
By default it takes DESKTOP-DESKTOP replace it with original one.
Step 3: retry
That's it !!!
This issue came up all of a sudden with the service of Oracle12c-32bit (version 12.1.0.2.0). For me the issue turned out to be that the permissions of one or more files/folders under:
C:\oracle\client\\product\12.1.0\client_1
Got changed in a way that was causing the error at hand ('permission denied' as seen on windows event logs). I simply made a recursive change of permissions on C:\oracle effectively granting full-access everywhere under the root folder to all the users and groups that had full access to C:\oracle.
The weird thing about all this is that only the 32bit oracle-service got clogged due to insufficient permissions. My 64bit oracle-service didn't suffer from a similar issue which is weird. I don't know where to attribute the "spontaneous permissions-tweak" that broke the 32bit service. Go figure ...
The OracleMTSRecoveryService couldn't start when I was installed Oracle DB 11g as well, at 71% of installing progress, but after I turned off my antivirus program (Avast Pro 15) and clicked Retry, it worked for me. The AV firewall may be the key problem.
changing the value of Host file from localhost to 127.0.0.1 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE\OracleMTSRecoveryService\Protid_0 worked
Also clicking on retry worked for me. After clicking on retry the installation proceeded without any warning or error.
