Multiple listener on 9i and 11g

Question

Hi all
I have 9i and 11g installation on same oracle user.
3 of db are using 9i and 1 of db is using 11g binaries
my 9i listener is working fine but when i try to do tnsping for 11g db which is upgraded from 9i is not working.... TNS_ADMIN is set 11g.
echo $TNS_ADMIN
/spqa01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/network/admin
which tnsping
/spqa01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/bin/tnsping
when i do tnsping SPD1
Attempting to contact (description=(address=(protocol=tcp)(host= qdchudaa)(port=1527))(connect_data=(sid=SPD1)))
TNS-12541: TNS:no listener
listener of the 9i have below entries
LISTENER_SPQA =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =

----------tnsnames.ora of 9i

====================listener.ora of 11g
LISTENER_SP11 =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = extproc1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xxx.qdx.com)(PORT = 1527))

(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME= /spqa01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0 )
(PROGRAM = extproc)
same tnsnames.ora in 9i in 11g
both compatible is set to 11.1.0 and local_listner is set to (ADDRESS =(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=xxx)(PORT=1527))
How to configure listener which can support 11g instances separatly
please help

Answer 1

How to configure listener which can support 11g instances separatly hi in this case you need to put 9i & 11g network files in different locations for example
ORACLE 9i:-
export TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/db_1/network/admin
ORACLE 11g:-
export TNS_ADMIN=/u02/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/network/admin
then export which listener you wan...
TWO_TASK(tns connection string) & TNS_ADMIN(path of network files $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin) before if you want to use specific listener either 11g or 9i.
HI Sb,
can you correct if im wron. Thanks
