Local_listener name is different from listener.ora

I'm on 11g R2 solaris10 platform.
lsnrctl status adv_sec_listener2 shows all the correct items I would expect including the Alias = adv_sec_listener2
but when I do lsnrctl status listener_farley it shows the same thing with Alias = adv_sec_listener2
My listener.ora file is set with adv_sec_listener2
In the spfile it has local_listener=listener_farley
I try to edit the parameter and set local_listener to adv_sec_listener2 but I get errors:
ORA-02097: parameter could not be modified
ORA-00119: invalid specification for LOCAL_LISTENER
ORA-00132: syntax error or unresolved network name 'ADV_SEC_LISTENER2'

is your listener registered with all instances in the server? if so, its new from 10g that all instances will listen through one instance
try to see the ouput of
$ lsnrctl status <listener_name>
and check if all instances are shown

MAXDATAFILES in Control File differs from initSID.ora: Server v8.0.5 on HP-UX 11.00

Maybe it's because I've never looked before, but I have never before noticed a database which has been started with a pfile containing
"db_files = 80"
and yet displays
"MAXDATAFILES 30"
when I dump the control file to trace.
Views? and thanks up front

Please choose a document name so the destination name is different for the different input files.

I loaded a folder into Bridge, of files which I intend to reduce to 800 px using one of my own custom actions.
Please note that I have done this successfully numerous times in the past.
I go to tools/PS/batch/set:margie's actions/action:reduce to 800
Source: Bridge
Destination:Folder
Choose/new folder/I name folder/create/choose
The folder name shows after users:users name:desktop
The problem is in File Naming. After I type in Document Name a name totally different from the folder name/OK,
the attached window appears.
I have to select document name in order to complete. So can't I give a name to the files? Thanks

The problem is in File Naming. After I type in Document Name a name totally different from the folder name/OK,
If you use an action for resizing based on existing filenames it is not needed to change the document name but just leave it as it is so the files will be save resized and in the folder you have chosen/created.
When you need to have an addition to the filenames just leave the first field with document name and change the second field (default: extension) to whatever you wish and as last field choose 'extension'.
e.g.
field 1: Document Name (If you leave this as it is it reflects the current filename)
field 2: document name (fill in an underscore "_")
field 3: 3 digit serial number (adds 001 and further after the underscore)
field 4: extension (either lowercase or uppercase depending on your needs,I prefer lowercase, but don't change the field name. This puts the existing file extension at the end)
The example field that is showing above the option fields is a bit distracting because it keeps showing 'MyFile' but that is your existing filename.
Personally I have a save as to destination in my actions recorded to dedicated folders with the resulted size and I simple run those actions without creating a folder in the batch window, just select the dedicated resizing action.
When done I move the result to a new folder using Finder, it is just another way of working but the above given example should also work for you.

Listener listners to name different from instance_name

Is it possible to configure listener to lister to a name different from instance_name?
For example, if instance_name is INST1, I'd like to make listener be able to listen to name "INST" and know that this is for "INST1"
If possible, this is what TNSNAME at client is
INST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = INST)
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. Actually my concern is much at client side not on database server side. Please let me expalin what I mean.
The back-end database is 2-node RAC - Two instances INST1 and INST2 on node1 and node2 respectively. Most of our clients will use TAF (Transparent Application Failover) config and use SERVICE_NAME=INST in TNSNAMES.ora. They have no issue connection to RAC database and take advantage of fail over and load baclancing capability.
However, one of clients is legacy app. :-( It does not use oracle client (so not using TNSNAME). It has its own db driver. The only option I allow to enter is hostname + SID. This would work fine with stand alone database (one host + one instance), or I can even connection to specific RAC node (like node 1 + SID=INST1).
But we'd like to take advantage of fail over of having two instances. We would like to connection to one instance and if in case node fails, it will go to other.
We can have a virtual hotname using 3rd party load balancer - it will go to the least load node with host name translation - user connects to virtual host > translate to node 1 or node 2 depending on load. . But since listener on node 1 is listenning to SID_NAME=INST1 and node 2 to INST2, using SID=INST at client in tnsname.ora would not work (get error "ORA-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID", nor I could use SID=INST1 or SID=INST2 becuase it won't be transparent when failover. Ideally I want to use SID=INST in TNSNAMES.ora and, if possible, I'd like the listener on node 1 listens to INST1 as well as INST and node2 listners to INST2 as well as INST. This way client connection will be transparent. Sorry for long explanation. But hopefully I make my situation clearer. Thanks again in advance.

Dear Experts,
Please note that after doing the R12.1 upgrade, When i bounce the database i have noted that my database listener name in the listener.ora file is getting change from GPROD to %s_db_listener%. Again every time after changeing the listener log file i am able to start the listener.

Unregister service name from listener

Hi,
I have a default listener (named LISTENER, port 1521) and a database with SID=ORCL. The database automatically registers with the listener, the output of "lsnrctl status" is:
Service "orcl" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "orcl", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Service "orclXDB" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "orcl", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Service "orcl_XPT" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "orcl", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
The command completed successfully
And the value of the service_names parameter is:
SQL> show parameter service_names
NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
service_names                        string      orclNow I'd like to prevent clients to connect to the database using the service name 'ORCL', so I changed the service_names init parameter:
SQL> alter system set service_names=testdb;
System altered.
Then I restarted the listener. The "problem" is that the database registers with the listener also the 'ORCL' service name:
Service "TESTDB" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "orcl", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Service "orcl" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "orcl", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Service "orclXDB" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "orcl", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Service "orcl_XPT" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "orcl", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
The command completed successfully
Is it possible to somehow prevent the database from registering the service name ORCL with the listener?
If you're wondering why I'm asking that, it's because this database is a duplicated production database (on a different host), and I'd like to prevent the possibility of mistakenly connecting to the production DB. I'm aware it would be better if I change the database's SID altogether, but currently that's not possible.
Thank you in advance for any answer.
Regards,
Jure

Hi coskan,
Thanks for the answer.
Jut a question at the beginning. Doesn't the SID_LIST_listener_name parameter define which databases the listener listens to (and not the single services the database offers)? As I understand, I can prevent automatic registration of a database into the listener, but not selectively allow only some services the database offers? Maybe I'm completely wrong, so please correct me if it's so :-)
As you suggetsed I tried the following:
listener.ora:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1522))
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = ORCL)
(ORACLE_HOME = E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_4)
tnsnames.ora:
LISTENER=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1522))
SQL> show parameter local_listener
NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
local_listener                       string      LISTENERlsnrctl status:
Listening Endpoints Summary...
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=127.0.0.1)(PORT=1522)))
Services Summary...
Service "ORCL" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "ORCL", status UNKNOWN, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
The command completed successfully
So, now only the service ORCL is registred, although the init parameter service_names=TESTDB. I can connect using ORCL as the service_name in the connection string, but not using TESTDB.

Jure

Listener.ora and Tnsnames.ora created in a different location

Hi All,
I have both the files i.e Listener.ora and Tnsnames.Ora in a location called D:\OraHome_1 and not in D:\OraHome_1\Network\Admin !! Also I do not have the sqlnet.ora file in either of these two locations.
Though conn sys/pswd@sid is working fine and DB is also up and running, "conn / as sysdba" is not working. I would like to restore these files in their actual location and make "conn / as sysdba also working".
Thanks in advance

You may not need the listener.ora - it is kinda "optional". Not sqlnet.ora either. There are defaults to survive on.That's fine but I still would like to know why these files got created in a directory different from oraclehome\network\admin?

Change the host name in Listener.ora to fixed IP address

in Listener.ora i want change host name to IP :
==== OLD ====
LISTENER =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host=Server)(Port= 1521))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL= IPC)(KEY = ORCL))
=== WHAT I NEED ===
LISTENER =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host=100.100.110.1)(Port= 1521))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL= IPC)(KEY = ORCL))
how can i do this .

It is not recommended to change the name for an IP addressIt is not recommended by who? AFAIK there is no such sentence in documentation.
But there is other:
host Required. Specify the host name or IP address of the database server computer.
Instad of "It is not recommended..." better use "Consider this..."
, as if ever it changes in the future, you'll have to be back and change once again your ip.The same is truth when we are speaking about FQDN (fully qualified domain name).
How often your company changes the IP adresses on server platform?
My experience from past:
First case:
My company has rebranded and and domain name has been changed but IP has not. Unfortunatelly we were not using OID for resolving. If there were FQDN used then would have to make changes in many files. Fortunatelly we were using IP addresses.
Now we are using OID for resolving of tnsnames (as primary method).
What I want to say is both solutions (FQDN or IP) are fine. Each of them has some advantages and also disadvantages.

This makes no sense. You don't configure a listener nor a tnsnames.ora "in a database".   I hope this is just a language issue and not reflective of a fundamental misunderstanding of how tns works.

I can't get my movies and tv shows on iPad now that I have added iCloud. The problem is that my iTunes account has different name and password from my mobile me account. Can I change my iTunes account name and password so that they will transfer to my iPad with the mobile me / iCloud account? I need to figure out how to make the two accounts one or iCloud has to be able to accept my iTunes account with years of music and movies.

Hunter of Sock Monsters thanks...I did follow your advise. I went to the iforgot site and tried answering the secret questions twice. I got the "wrong answer", so the next time I asked for an email authentication. I am still waiting. I don't know what the usual time for waiting normally is. I am still waiting for an email reply from three days ago. I'm not going to hold my breath. My ipad is out of warranty but I may have to beg for help from support? I'll wait awhile longer. Maybe there is another thing someone could come up with. I appreciate your fast reply Hunter.

HA-VMM cannot be installed : HAVMM name in db is differs from the user specified HAVMM name

I have a two node HA VMM cluster. This is working correctly and has been for while. I am now attempting to add an additional node to the cluster.
I joined the node to the cluster and then start the VMM install and follow the wizard till it gets to the Database Configuration Page. When I Click Next here nothing happens.
If I check the C:\ProgramData\VMMLogs\SetupWizard.log file I see the following error as the last item.
HA-VMM cannot be installed : HAVMM name in db is differs from the user specified HAVMM name
If I check the S
CVMMCDB01 I find the HAVMMName property with a value of SCVMMC01.domainname This is the same value that is returned when using powershell with Get-SCVMMServer
When I check the cluster configuration it is the same story. I connect to the cluster name scvmmc01.
Even if I look at Cluster Manager I can see the name is tied correctly.
Any ideas would be great as I am effectively now stuck and cannot install another node.

Greetings!
It happened because you renamed your VMM cluster after first node installation.
Juts update HAVMMName value in dbo.tbl_VMM_GlobalSetting. Start SQL Server Management Studio, connect to your VMM DB, and Edit table.

My pal made spelling mistake when registering her Ipad with ITunes,how can this be rectified.Her name is spelled different from whats on her Credit card.thanks

Hi Apple Pals,
My friend got a present of Ipad 2 and tried to set it up.She made mistakes in spelling her name when registering.Her name is now different from name on her Credit card.It is possible to remove this and re-register again with ITunes etcera.
Thank s

Hello, Julie.
Thank you for the question. As the device is registered to the Apple ID, you would simply need to make sure the name is correct on https://appleid.apple.com/. If the name of the device itself is incorrect and you wish to change it, see the article below.

Same email address, different 'from' name

Hi - I would like to be able to send an email from ios to a 3rd party and choose who the recipient sees that it comes from, but use the one email address. So 1 'name' is my personal name, 1 is my business name.
I host a domain and I have sent up 2 email accounts in ios with different usernames let's say [email protected] and [email protected] [email protected] is set to divert to [email protected] on a server level, so ALL emails sent to either x or y, go to x. So I have both set up on my Mac, y doesn't get email, so I don't get double ups - when I want to send from a different user name, I just send from the other account.
Now ios has the same ability in theory and when I set it up the same way, it all works BUT the recipient receives the email from my personal name, despite me sending it from my business name???
Anyone have a fix or answer??!!
TIA!!

Hi Ben. Welcome to the forums.
The BTFon access is via the primary email address and associated password.
Does the list of providers actually say BTFon or BTOpenzone ?
