This error occurs if your database is not up and running properly.
First verify that the listener is up and running

database is up and running.

Verify both the nodes and load balancer is up and running.

Next thing to verify is that you have to run the script in the machine where your database is installed.

So verify the name of the host and port.

set JAVA_HOME=SOA_HOME\jdk

set ANT_HOME=SOA_HOME\ant

Now run the ant script you should be able to run it.
