The listener supports no services

The command completed successfully

"Agent connection to instance status is failed. I could not find out where is the issue"

The lsnrctl status command replied "The listener supports no services". There is a network listener running but it hasn't been told about any databases.

You need to add services to your listener.ora file. Add a sid_list to your listener.ora like below, then restart the listener.

 LISTENER =
 (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
  (DESCRIPTION =
   (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
   (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 169.254.52.209)(PORT = 1521))
  )
 )

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
 (SID_DESC=
  (GLOBAL_DBNAME=edss.your.domain.here)
  (ORACLE_HOME=E:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1)
  (SID_NAME=edss)
 )
)

ADR_BASE_LISTENER = E:\app\Administrator
