10g Listeners

What configuration files will tell me if our 10g Listener has:
A password set?
ADMIN_RESTRICTIONS turned on?
Listener Logging turned on?
For a 10g Listener, should we have all the above set/turned on, or is a Listener password not really necessary?
Also what is best practice for the LOCAL_OS_AUTHENTICATION? Should this be turned on?

For a 10g Listener, should we have all the above set/turned on, Need not. Depends upon your requirements.
or is a Listener password not really necessary?You can set this for security reasons so that other users cannot stop/start the listener.
Also what is best practice for the LOCAL_OS_AUTHENTICATION? Should this be turned on?
See link [http://www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archives/00000653.htm]
ThanksIs there a listener per database, or a listener per Oracle_Home, or a listener per DB Server?

  • 10G listener over eager?

    We have both 9i and 10g DB's on a Sun host. We want to have the 9i listener accept connect requests for 9i only and the 10g listener for 10g only. Listener.ora files have been configured to support this. The listeners run on different ports and can be started/stopped seperately.
    The 9i listener accepts requests for it's databases but not the 10G (as you would expect).
    The weird thing is : When we start the 10g listener, and do 'lsnrctl services' is lists it's one and only 10g DB. Good. After waiting a few minutes, running the same command again ALSO lists the 9i databases. A connect sql*net to the 10g port for a 9i database gets connected!!
    Is this a 'feature' we can turn off?
    Hope the description is clear enough,
    thanks in advance,
    Vin.

    Can someone running 9i & 10G on the same Solaris host, using seperate 9i and 10g listeners please check and let me know if their 10g listener lists (lsnrctl services) the 9i databases even though they are NOT configured in the 10G listener.ora?
    TIA,

  • 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.

  • 9i and 10g on same host + listeners

    Dear All,
    I have 2 simple questions:
    1- Is it possible to have 2 database servers on one machine given that
    one is 10g (10.1.0.3) and the other is 9i (9.2.0.x) ?
    2- Second, which of course is valied if answer to question 1 is YES,
    What about lsnrclt version incompatibility?
    More details
    I installed 10g version mentioned above on the server that hosts the
    working 9i database. However, when I initiated the lsnrclt start of the
    new 10g database,
    and then tried to start the 9i server, I got this error. Please help or
    explain.

    As Oracle Technology Consultant you should know that...
    1- Is it possible to have 2 database servers on one machine given thatone is 10g (10.1.0.3) and the other is 9i (9.2.0.x) ?
    Yes it's possible.
    Anyway, you can't run two listeners on the same IP and port number.
    There are two scenarios:
    1. You specify another port number for second instance
    2. You will be using just one listener for both of instances.
    If you want use scenario nr. 2 then:
    Modify listener.ora for 10g database and use 10g listener only.
    Here is the example of listener.ora
    LISTENER =
      (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
        (DESCRIPTION =
          (ADDRESS_LIST =
            (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <IPADDRESS>)(PORT = 1521))
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =

  • Can anyone help with 10g install problem?

    Hi there
    I have two problems:
    1. When I try to install 10g on Windows 2003 Ent Server the installer fails with "installation failed" verify enough space, 45mb, in c:\..blah... I have 30gig free on c:\ yet the installer continues to fail. I have also run a scan on the disk for bad sectors etc. I've found a few forum comments but no solution. Any ideas? The exact message is:
    "Error writing to directory c:\docume~1\admin\..' Please ensure that the directory is writable and has at least 45mb of disk space. Installation cannot continue'
    2. I have succesfully installed 10g on XP Pro SP2 however when I launch the em I am presented with:
    "The database status is currently unavailable. It is possible that the database is in mount or nomount state. Click 'Startup' to obtain the current status and open the database. If the database cannot be opened, click 'Perform Recovery' to perform an appropriate recovery operation"
    How do I fix this? I tried various options with no success?
    Thanks
    Ben

    After modifying the listeners.ora file to include the SID I was able to succesfully connect (see below).

    However, when I go into launch the EM console via IE, I am continually presented with the following:
    The database status is currently unavailable. It is possible that the database is in mount or nomount state. Click 'Startup' to obtain the current status and open the database. If the database cannot be opened, click 'Perform Recovery' to perform an appropriate recovery operation.

  • 10g RAC upgrade to 11g RAC

    How to perform 10g RAC upgrade to 11g with Dataguard in place?
    OS=LINUX
    RDBMS=10.2.0.4
    DG=PHYSICAL STANDBY
    Below is my understanding
    1)Install 11g CRS in NEW_CRS_HOME
    2)Install 11g in NEW_ASM_HOME
    3)Install 11g in NEW_RDBMS_HOME
    4)Export the new NEW_ORACLE_HOME and start up the database with startup upgrade.
    5) Run the catupgrade.sql script.
    Are there any other steps involve?
    In case I have to rollback then how to rollback CRS.

    Personally I would use DBUA instead of catupgrade.sql, but make sure you follow the upgrade documentation for pre-checks etc. You will also need to use netca to recreate the sqlnet listeners in the 11g homes and register with 11g CRS.
    CRS is generally fairly quick to re-install and re-register databases, and this is cleaner than trying to restore OCR and VOTE disks etc. If you prefer to rollback be sure you backup the OCR and VOTE disks (e.g use dd), backup /etc/oracle, CRS_HOME, /etc/init* scripts etc.
    The dataguard standby database should roll forward through the upgrade, but you will need to manually register the standby with 11gCRS. Make sure you have your DB and Log create_file_dest's set, as well as standby_file_management=auto. Personally I would manually recover the standby after the upgrade in case I need to use it to fallback.

    Now I am trying to run the Net config assistant outside of the installer and configure a 10g listener for the 10g instance using a port different from the 1521 that teh 9i listener is using and it keeps telling me that:
    The information provided for this listener is currently in use by other software on this computer. You can proceed with the configuration as is but it will not be possible to start the listener until the conflict is resolved...
    I have tried several different ports (the only thing that could be in conflict, I think) and I keep getting the same message..
    HELP!!
    Has anyone out there set up a 9i and 10g installation on Windows using two different listeners, one for the 9i and another for 10g?

    Yes, I have read this other thread you have cited but there is no conclusion - other than maybe by rerunning the install he overcame the issue and never completed the thread. In my case, the initial 10g install failed to run the net config assistant and there never was a 10g listener service created. Also, now I try to run the net config assistant stand alone and it refuses to create a listener service...claims that there is a conflict, even if I try on other than the default port.
    I'm thinking the conflict lies with the fact there is an up and running 9i listener service and yes that listener is active because it is servicing a live production instance.
    Our goal was to install a 10g instance with it's own separate listener, import our schemas and test our app on a 10g database then one day turn the 10g into the production instance.
    Our plan was to avoid endangering the production environment by even trying to service the 9i database with the 10g listener. You cannot use a 9i listener for a 10g database but from what I read in the other thread you have cited, to try to fire up the 10g listener to service the 9i production instance would have resulted in a loss of servicve to the production environment if I experience the same phenomena as the fellow in the other thread.
    Thank you for your time and consideration here...
    I believe I should propose to have a separate server box set up to host this new 10g database. Our overall objective is to keep the production system up and running no matter what.
    In the old days I remember that if too many attempts were made at installing on a Windows platform the registry would get hosed up beyond repair and the only out was to re-image the box and start over with a fresh copy of teh Windows operating system:-)
    Let me know if you have any further suggestions...
    Regards-
    Jim

  • 9.2 and 10g on same machine, listener problem

    Hi,
    i had a 10g db on a solaris server. then i installed a 9.2 database on this server. I know that i should use the 10g listener for 9.2 database.
    But i cant manage to configure it correctly.
    The 10g listener name is LISTENER and 9.2 listener name is TPRS.
    what i did ? i opened netmgr and created a new listener named TPRS. added the database to it.(on the menu database services)
    when i try to start TPRS i get the following error message

Whatever you do the unix user that starts the oracle, listener executables have to be the same OR sicky bits have to exist on the executables (so the user is allowed to start the executables and access the memory realms as if it was the actual owner).
    The moment you don't use the defaults - aka "LISTENER" or a non default port (1521), you will have to define this via the database parameter
    LOCAL_LISTENER
    SQL> conn / as sysdba
    SQL> show parameter local_listener

    local_listener                       string

    NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
    local_listener                       string      (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=sun3.tuprasnet.local)(PORT=1522))Now the database "knows" that it has to register itself against "sun3.tuprasnet.local" and will be serviced via port 1522.
    After been set on database level, the "LOCAL_LISTENER" value can be resolved via the string itself or (*most common way of doing it is using a tnsalias*) is resolved via the tnsnames.ora file (the string given in LOCAL_LISTENER is an tns ALIAS).
    If you use ONE listener, then databases can register themselves against SQL*Net compatible listeners. So you don't have to use a 9i listener for a 9i database. A 10g database is also allowed.
    If I use a ONE listener solution, then I normally pick the listener from the highest database version and let all database versions use this listener.
    The post given here (http://www.liberidu.com/blog/?p=116): "Registering non-default XMLDB HTTP/WebDAV and FTP ports on a non-default Oracle Listener port" describes a use case which is even more "extreem" regarding shared server functionality, based on TWO listeners and NON-DEFAULT PORT addressing, based on an Oracle 9 and Oracle 10 environment on the same machine.

  • Not able to start the listener in oracle 10g  after the domain name changed

    Hi
    I had installed the oracle 10g on zLinux. It was working fine( was able to mount the database and start the listener). Now my server's domain name got changed. So i have added the new domain name in the tnsnames.ora and listeners.ora file . now i could able to mount the databases but am not able to start the listener . whille starting the listener , am getting the following error

  • Viewing Tables in Oracle 10g Enterprise Manager

    Hello,
    We are running Oracle 10g on a Linux Red Hat platform. We have started the dbconsole listeners to start using Enterprise Manager. The problem we are encountering is that tables that are in our schema are not showing up in Enterprise Manager. We have checked the tables using OEM and they are appearing there normally. The tables not showing were created from an object type. We are able to use DML, DDL on these tables using SQL, iSQLPlus. We appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

    Please clarify how did you check the tables in 10g using EM dbconsole.
    Please post some screen capture of you login using sqlplus and shown the table is there for example,

  • Configuring multiple listeners in a non-RAC env.

    Hi,
    Our database is being made as many as 35 requests per second by the application during peak hours. This is causing the listener to die. Metalink suggested to configure more listeners so that they can balance the load. When I tried to configure 2 listeners on the local server, one of the listeners are not working propoerly.
    I am posting the listenerr.ora and their statuses along with the error messages here. Can someone help me understand the problem?

    But shared server is not always better than a dedicated server.I did not say it was - only that if you're expecting loads of brand new connection requests to be services fast by the Listener, then shared server will be significantly faster than dedicated server.
    Frequency of connections may be handled better by the use of shared server, but how about holding thousands and thousands of connections and serving all their requests by using some preemptive mechanism? Many years ago, I configured an Oracle 8i instance on my desktop PC with shared server and told the Java guys to try their worst. See how many threads they can open against my desktop PC instance versus the big HP server instance. The latter was using dedicated server and they were kind of thinking that this was somehow better than shared server. They could open less than a few hundred connections to the big server. They opened over a 1000 connections to my desktop instance.
    Shared  Server is and never was a poor and second choice to Dedicated Server as some seems to suggest. It is extremely capable and ideally suited when dealing with a huge number of connections.
    In our application, number of connections would reach thousands during peak hours and large number of REALLY BIG queries would be fired by each of them in a small time period. I would say these BIG QUERIES can be termed as OLAP queries, while our main stream application is a OLTP system. It must be apparent to you by now, our database (non-RAC) is supporting an application that gives OLAP and OLTP queries at a very high frequency. A big query ito what? Resource footprint? Source code size of the query? Execution time of the query?
    If you have 100's of OLAP type queries (complex and long running queries) hitting the server every few seconds, then your server will die. Unless you are running some seriously expensive hardware.
    That aside - it is only a sensible approach to use shared server in an environment that deals with 1000's of OLTP type connections. And if there is an OLAP mix too, then configure those connections to request dedicated server connections.
    Why? The shared server scales a lot better than dedicated server. And scalability is what you want in this type of environment.

  • EM12c Oracle Database Plug-In 12.1.0.7 update now shows 10g listener as down when it's not

    EM 12.1.0.4 with Oracle Database Plug-in 12.1.0.7
    Monitored database and listener:  10.2.0.4
    Our EM12c monitors 12.1,11.2 and 10.2 databases and listeners.  All monitored targets are up and running.
    I updated Oracle Database Plug-in from 12.1.0.6 to 12.1.0.7 and now the only 10g listener that I have shows as down.
    The listener on the server is up and running.
    The monitoring configuration is right.
    I removed this target and re-added it, but it came back as down.
    It's a little disconcerting to have a listener show as down since it's a production box, but nothing I do corrects the problem.
    Any insights or suggestions are appreciated.
    Sherrie

    Hi Sherrie,
    In most cases we have this issue due to monitoring configuration , I know you mentioned that you have checked on it but still I would recommend to just re-confirm on below steps
    1. Go to
        EM Console -> Targets -> Listener -> Listener Home page -> Target Setup -> Monitoring Configuration
    2. Get the details
          Listener Name
          Listener.ora Directory
          Machine Name
          Oracle Home
          TCP Port Numbe
    3. Go to the server where this listener is running
       Check to see if the listener is up
           ps -ef | grep tns
    4. Next run
           $ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl status
       From this outpuy verify details in (1)
          Listener Name   <======= Alias
          Listener.ora Directory <=== Listener Parameter File ie the directory
          Machine Name  <======= HOST=
          Oracle Home<========== This is where tnslsnr is started from
          TCP Port Number <======  PORT=
    5. Makes sure that all the details matches in (4) and (2)
    If above is fine then I would recommend to go through the troubleshooting steps as per below doc , they are valid for listener status down too and should give a further insight on the root cause of the issue

  • Running Oracle 9i and 10g on same box

    Hi Guys! :-)
    I have a development box (Win2003) that I run one Oracle 9i home on, and I wish to install a 10g home aswell. I need to install the new Oracle 10g listener on a different port. Can someone please give me some directions / how to guide how to do that ? I'm using OUI to install.
    I have tried searching this forum and Metalink, but didnt find any stuff that could help me..
    I'm pretty new to Oralce, this may be a easy config matter.
    Thanks
    Best Regards

    Unless there is a compelling reason, I would encourage you to use one listener for ALL databases on the machine. The rule is that it needs to be the highest version
    You have several options:
    1) do a completely separate listener-only install into it's own home. Stop (and set to 'manual service') the 9i listener and start the 10g listener on port 1521. Re-register the 9i database using the 'alter system register' command.
    2) install the listener as part of the 10g install. Stop the 9i listener and start the 10g listener on port 1521. Re-register the 9i database using the 'alter system register' command.
    3) install the listener as part of the 10g install and modify the port on both the listener (see listener.ora) and the database's LOCAL_LISTENER parameter.
    I prefer 1) simply because that allows you to upgrade/patch the listener totally independently from any DB version, while still leaving version -specific listeners around that can be used in an emergency.

  • Oracle 10g and 11g on the same computer....

    Hi ,
    Just for confirmation.... i 'd like to ask if this is possible.....without migrating the existing Oracle 10g v.2 database to Oracle 11g......
    I want to keep them working both (not of course simultaneously.....)
    Thanks....
    Sim

    Assuming you load everything into separate 10.2 and 11.1 Oracle Homes, sure. You can even have both running at the same time if you'd like.
    Depending on your setup, you may want to spend a bit of time figuring out whether you want to run separate listeners or have one listener for both databases (in which case you'd probably want just the 11g listener running). And whether you want separate tnsnames.ora files or whether you want to use the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to point both Oracle Homes at a single file.

    I am having the same exact problem as documented in the following article but the solution documented in this article unfortunately did not apply:

    Thanks for the follow up. Yes, I do have two Oracle Homes on the server: One is for an Oracle Database Server 9i and the other is for the current install of Application Server. Both listeners are up and running and they are both listening on different ports. Having both of these services started simulatenously should not be a problem given that their listening on different ports, correct? I used the lsnrctl status command in each of the Oracle Homes and I didn't notice anything in the output that stated the listener was not running. The last piece of output states that "The command completed successfully" Anything, I should be looking for in the output?

Maybe you are looking for
