Problem with LSNRCTL process

Hello,
i have a problem with the LSNRCTL.EXE process.
The process still growing in memory usage.
Do you have an idea?
I have installed Oracle Server Standard Edition
Version 8.1.7.4.17
on Windows 2000 server.
Thanks in advance.

Is any shared server user run reports.
shared server environment is used fro small transection.
if any user who belong to shared server run heavy transection then it create problems.
I think if you check it and if find such a user the use dedicated connection for such user.

10g: problem with similar named listeners

Hi,
env:
2 node OEL cluster (not rac, a linux cluster)
11.2.0.3 GI
11.2.0.3 and 10.2.0.5 DB's
The problem seems to be that lsnrctl in 10g is only using the first 12-13 characters of the listener name.
I have a listener configured with the name listener_prodXXX, when I configure another listener named listener_prodYYY and want to start ist:
lsnrctl start listener_prodYYY
TNS-01106: Listener using listener name listener_prodXXX has already been started.
ps -ef |grep -i listener_prod
oracle 2784 1 0 13:03 ? 00:00:00 /oracle/product/10.2.0/XXX/bin/tnslsnr listener_prodXXX -inherit
is there a rule for naming the listeners?
confused greetings
Daniel

Of course I was searching docs/metalink before but couldn't find anything there, so I was asking here.No sign of searching exists in your posts
If you have only one listener with multiple db's and want to do some maintenance on one of them, how do you avoid user connecting to it?Put the database in restricted session mode
I don't think its forbidden to use multiple listeners, so if I'm having a problem with the configuration the forum should be the place to ask, isn't it?It is not forbidden to use multiple listeners, but in 999 out of 1000 cases it is not required, and people 'think' they need multiple listeners for the wrong reasons.
Your post is no exception.
So, yes, if you want to setup multiple listeners, without apparent and/or sound reasons, I will explain you don't need them/.
There is nothing wrong about that, isn't it? Many people here 'think' they know Oracle, few have experience and know they do.

Problem with listener whe I create a new instance

Hi
I can not create two instances on my Oracle data base, the listener is not running or the service is not registred. This is my state:
I´ve installed Database Oracle 11gR2 on OEL (Oracle Linux Enterprise) and I need two instance, I created my first instance and I had some problems with my environment variable
but now it is fixed, when I execute: '*lsnrctl status*' it answers me:

where SPHYNX is the computer´s name, when I read the 'forums.oracle' I see that the line where it tells me:

it´s wrong but I don´t undertand the problem

it´s created automatically when I delete my initial Instance orcl, created in the installation, and I create the instance INS1
My user is a special user called 'oracle' and it is not sudoer.
when I try to create the second instance the wizard tell me that the Enterprise Configuration is failed because the listener is not actived or the data base´s service is not registred in
it. I do not write the exact output because it is in spanish and I write a translation.
regards,
Pablo

I am sorry if there is any inconsistency but I am not the final user, I don´t know if the final user had some conection´s problem but I could access to the Enterprise Manager in the instance and I had to restart the computer many times after the first configuration, but the user never tell me anything about problems. I only access to the instance with the Enterprise Manager and it´s running
I´m sorry but I normally have Oracle on Windows and this is my first contact with Oracle and Linux, on Windows I never had these problems because Oracle did everything automatically on Windows.
The output that I receive with your commands is:

Oracle 11g problem with creating shared memory segments

Hi, i'm having some problems with the oracle listener, when i'm trying to start it or reload it I get the follow error massages:
TNS-01114: LSNRCTL could not perform local OS authentication with the listener
TNS-01115: OS error 28 creating shared memory segment of 129 bytes with key 2969090421

I've seen that a solution might be "Make sure that system resources like shared memory and heap memory are available for LSNRCTL tool to execute properly."
I'm not exactly sure how to check that there is enough resources?
I've also seen a solution stating:
"Try adjusting the system-imposed limits such as the maximum number of allowed shared memory segments, or their maximum and minimum sizes. In other cases, resources need to be freed up first for the operation to succeed."
I've tried to modify the "max-sem-ids" parameter and set it to recommended 256 without any success and i've kind of run out of options what the error can be?
/Regards

I see, I do have the max-shm-ids quite high already so it shouldn't be a problem?

Problem with listener process

Hi all,
First, happy new year for everybody.
I'm under Linux and i have a problem with a listener process in Oracle 10g 10.1.0.3.
From time to time, my listener process hang-up and it becomes impossible to obtain a Oracle connection.
With unix 'ps' command, i can see strange process.

If a stop and restart the listener, i don't have any more problem.
I suspect OEM agent because each time i noted the problem, the agent was running .
What occurs? Thanks for your help.

Hi,
we had exactly the same problem this morning with our listener. We don't run OEM, and the listener.log file didn't have any errors in it. The log shows new connections up to the point where the second process starts (we know this from date stamps on the processes) and the next thing that appears is the listener starting again (after I've killed both listener processes and started the listener again)

According to the actual process - the secondary lsnr process's parent was the initial one. It's almost like the first process spawned the second one.
We thought it might be one of the limits (we're running AIX 5) on the user running the process - but I suspect not as the same user is running the Oracle DB processes and they don't have any issues.
Thoughts?

Problems with IPC

Hello together,
we' re building a ISA-like java-application for a customer. We try to use the same framework as the standard isa-app. Via IPC we are getting the characteristics of a product und configuring it. This works with the 3.1 version of the crm and ipc. But then there was made a upgrade to crm 4.0 and ipc 4.0. At the moment nothing of the configuration-part works. I am trying to use the ipccore.jar, but at this point I can't get any characteristics from my IPCItem. So I want to create another IPCSession and getting this characteristcs via a new IPCDocument and IPCItem, with the same productId.
If I use the constructor of the DefaultIPCDocumentProperties for creating a new IPCDocument, my action can't get instanced and throws a java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError. In a standalone java-application this thing works fine. Knows someone any Problems with such a problem? Or maybe another solution for getting my characteristics from the ipc?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards

Had the same problem on RedHat 5.2. The problem is caused by
protections on files in /tmp/.oracle. Those files are unix-
domain sockets, owned by root. The root ownership is caused by
the set-uid bits of $ORACLE_HOME/bin/tnslsnr and/or
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl, and the fact that this file is owned
by root (which is caused by the root.sh shell script from the
installation procedure).

After changing the ownership of lsnrctl and/or (sorry I'm not
sure) tnslsnr everything worked fine. Hope it helps for you too

8i Listener Problem with client

Hi
I'm having problems with our Linux 8i server.
Software has been installed ok and I can get client connections with a
freshly started listener (LSNRCTL start) using the DBA studio client.
Once I disconnect and then attempt to reconnect I get a "Target not found"
error. But, if I restart the listener on the server then try to connect
again all is fine.telnet is ok the port is open and ready.
I have some more information below that I think is causing my problem
When I start the listener I get

The client debug is a good place to start and here is a document explaining that process.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/products_tech_note09186a008091b08b.shtml
You many want to do dot11 debugs as well. But sniff the air first and see what activity you see... Also check your clients for a possible misconfig.

on my linux box, what i did was to delete *.q and services.ora from $ORACLE_HOME/network/agent then manually put in my instance in tnsnames.ora using the example used in http://www.mike-devlin.com/oracle/tnsnames_ora.htm. i made sure that the instance was up then ran lsnrctl start and agentctl start. OMS was able to discover my database automatically after that.
i do have a feeling that you are using Win2k/XP, but the files i mentioned can be located in the same directory. instead of lsnrctl start and agentctl start, you can go to Administrative Tools>Sevices and start OracleOra92TNSListener and OracleOra92Agent
i would recommend, however, trying to use netca when recreating the tnsnames.ora. it just didn't work with mine so i had to do it manually.

A problem with threads

I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
Thank you in advance,
Lefty

This was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
     boolean active = true;
     public void run(){
          ss.setSoTimeout(90);
          while (active){
               try{
                    serverSocket = ss.accept();
               catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
               // do nothing
     // interrupt thread
     public void deactivate(){
          active = false;
          // you gotta sleep for a time longer than the
          // accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.
          try{
               sleep(91);
          }catch (InterruptedException ie){
          interrupt();
}

Problem with Threads and a static variable

I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
Code functionality:
A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
The problem as far I understand is:
Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
Thanks,
B.D.
Code:
private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
private static Thread objMainProcess;
   protected static void Init(){
        objMainProcess = new Thread() {
            public void run() {
                while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
                   GetState();
        objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
        objMainProcess.start();
    public static void initStatusTimer(){
        if(objTimer == null)
             objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
                public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
                          SetState();
    private static void SetState(){
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            bChanged = true;
            try{
                objMainProcess.notify();
            }catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
    private static boolean GetState() {
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            if( bChanged) {
                SendMessage();
                bChanged = false;
                return true;
            try {
                objMainProcess.wait();
            }catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
            return false;
    }

Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
Thanks,
B.D.

Problem with threads running javaw

Hi,
Having a problem with multi thread programming using client server sockets. The program works find when starting the the application in a console using java muti.java , but when using javaw multi.java the program doesnt die and have to kill it in the task manager. The program doesnt display any of my gui error messages either when the server disconnect the client. all works find in a console. any advice on this as I havent been able to understand why this is happening? any comment would be appreciated.
troy.

troy,
Try and post a minimum code sample of your app which
does not work.
When using javaw, make sure you redirect the standard
error and standard output streams to file.
Graeme.Hi Graeme,
I dont understand what you mean by redirection to file? some of my code below.
The code works fine under a console, code is supposed to exit when the client (the other server )disconnects. the problem is that but the clientworker side of the code still works. which under console it doesnt.

Problem with threads and camera.

Hi everybody!
I've a problem with taking snapshot.
I would like to display a loading screen after it take snapshot ( sometimes i
have to wait few seconds after i took snapshot. Propably photo is being taken in time where i have to wait).
I was trying to use threads but i didn't succeed.
I made this code:
display.setCurrent(perform);
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                while((!performing.isShown()) && (backgroundCamera.isShown())){
                    Thread.yield();
                notifyAll();
        }).start();
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                try {
                    this.wait();
                } catch(Exception e) {
                    exceptionHandler(e);
                photo = camera.snapshot();
                display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
        }).start();This code is sometimes showing performing screen but sometimes no.
I don't know why. In my opinion performing.isShown() method isn't working correctly.
Does anyone have some idea how to use threads here?

Hi,
I've finally managed to work this fine.
The code:
       Object o = new Object();
       display.setCurrent(perform);
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                while(!performing.isShown()){
                    Thread.yield();
               synchronized(o) {
                  o.notify();
        }).start();
        new Thread(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                try {
                    synchronized(o) {
                       o.wait(1);
                } catch(Exception e) {
                    exceptionHandler(e);
                photo = camera.snapshot();
                display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
        }).start();

Problem with threads hanging

We have a problem where our application stops responding after a few days of usage. Things will for fine for a day or two, and then pretty quickly threads will start getting hung up, usually in places where they are allocating memory
We are running WebLogic 8.1 SP2 on Sun JDK 1.4.2_04 on Solaris 8 using the alternate threading model and the -server hotspot vm. We are running pretty much the same code that we had no problems with under WebLogic 6.1 SP4 and Sun JDK 1.3.1.
A thread dump usually shows that some or all of our execute threads are in the state "waiting for monitor entry" even though they are not currently waiting on any java locks. Here is a sample thread from the thread dump (we have ~120 threads so I don't want to post the full dump).
=============================================================================================

String.java line 1446 for this jdk allocates a new String object, and all the other threads in this state also are creating new objects or arrays, etc.
We've done a pstack on this process when it's in this state, and the threads that are in the "waiting for monitor entry" that look like they're allocating memory are all waiting on the same lwp_mutex_lock with some allocation method that's calling into the native TwoGenerationCollectorPolicy.mem_allocate_work (see pstack output below for the same thread as in the thread dump above)

Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I'm trying to figure out if this is caused by something we're doing, or something relating to our environment and jvm options. Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply - I'm testing our app with the +UseConcMarkSweepGC now in our test environment to make sure it doesn't cause any problems there. Unfortunately the only place we've had this problem is on the production server, so it's extra difficult debugging this.
We're using the following memory options:
-ms512m -mx512m -XX:NewSize=128m -XX:PermSize=192m -XX:MaxNewSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:SurvivorRatio=8and the following debugging options, as we've also been seeing OutOfMemoryErrors ( see http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=37&thread=522354&tstart=45&trange=15 )
-verbosegc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintHeapAtGCBTW, which c++filt version and options are you using? Our Solaris boxes only seem to have the GNU version installed. I was trying to run that on some of the other stack traces and wasn't getting anywhere, and didn't know if because it was GNU version wouldn't work on something compiled with the Sun compiler.
Thanks!

Problem with threads and ProgressMonitor

Dear Friends:
I have a little problem with a thread and a ProgressMonitor. I have a long time process that runs in a thread (the thread is in an separate class). The thread has a ProgressMonitor that works fine and shows the tasks progress.
But I need deactivate the main class(the main class is the user interface) until the thread ends.
I use something like this:
LongTask myTask=new LongTask();
myTask.start();
myTask.join();
Now, the main class waits for the task to end, but the progress monitor don`t works fine: it shows only the dialog but not the progress bar.
What's wrong?

Is the dialog a modal dialog? This can block other UI updates.
In general, you should make sure that it isn't modal, and that your workThread has a fairly low priority so that the UI can do its updating
