Log on as SYS and run this. EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT(0); This won’t “stop” XDB but it should eliminate the connection. Ted _____ From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Dunn Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 10:41 AM To: oracle-l Subject: Oracle 10 listener and XDB When I start the oracle 10 listener it shows an XDB service running. I don't want it running and I am sure in previous versions I just removed the entry from listener.ora. However I see no XDB service in the listener.ora or tnsnames.ora files Is this working differently in Oracle 10? How do I stop XDB? John No virus found in this incoming message.
