Hi,
I have created a new service name at client, and thus created a new listener.Creating a new listener does not logically flow from creating something new at the client side. Would you expect the telephone company to build a new switchboard for every telephone handset on the network?
I did following entries.
In LISTENER.ORA
LISTENER2 =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost.localdomain)(PORT = 1521))
Then connect to the DB as sys and registered the listener dynamically :
SQL> alter system set local_listener=listener2 scope=spfile;
SQL> alter system register;
and when I starter listener it is showing that the listener supports no services:
Several problems
1) you set local listener in the spfile only. It had no effect on the running listener
2) even if (1) had been correct, at this point you don't have the listener running for the system to register with it
and ....
LSNRCTL> start listener2

The listener supports no services
The command completed successfully
Why it is not registering the service with the listener2.
3) now that your listener is up, you'd need to wait a couple of minutes for the system to automaticaly register itself, OR go back and ALTER SYSTEM REGISTER again.
Plz help.
