To All, I've some really weird behavior coming form the Listener on one of our = production boxes. To be fair we did add another instance to this box = over the weekend. But once the listener is started and I try to connect = to "franklin4", which is an old instance, I get connected instead to = "franklin7" which is the one that just got added. Now this is also one = of 5 instances on the server, but I still can't figure out why for the = first 5 minutes that the listener is up it connects one to the right = instance and then starts messing up. I'm appending our listener.ora = file just in case someone can find a flaw in my ways. ################ # Filename......: listener.ora # Name..........: franklin.world # Date..........: 23-MAY-00 15:14:21 ################ SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES =3D (NONE) LOGGING_LISTENER =3D OFF LOGGING_EXTPROC_LISTENER =3D OFF USE_PLUG_AND_PLAY_LISTENER =3D OFF USE_CKPFILE_LISTENER =3D OFF LISTENER =3D (ADDRESS_LIST =3D (ADDRESS=3D (PROTOCOL=3DIPC) (KEY=3D franklin.world) ) (ADDRESS=3D (PROTOCOL=3DIPC) (KEY=3D 02) ) (ADDRESS =3D (PROTOCOL =3D TCP) (Host =3D franklin) (Port =3D 1521) ) ) extproc9_listener =3D (address_list =3D (address =3D (protocol=3Dipc) (key=3Dextproc9_agent) ) ) STARTUP_WAIT_TIME_LISTENER =3D 0 CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER =3D 10 TRACE_LEVEL_LISTENER =3D OFF SID_LIST_LISTENER =3D (SID_LIST =3D (SID_DESC =3D (SDU=3D8192)(TDU=3D8192) (GLOBAL_DBNAME =3D franklin.world) (SID_NAME =3D 02) (ORACLE_HOME =3D /ora1/81764) (PRESPAWN_MAX =3D 10) ) (SID_DESC =3D (SDU=3D8192)(TDU=3D8192) (GLOBAL_DBNAME =3D franklin4.world) (SID_NAME =3D 04) (ORACLE_HOME =3D /ora1/92) (PRESPAWN_MAX =3D 10) ) (SID_DESC =3D (SDU=3D8192)(TDU=3D8192) (GLOBAL_DBNAME =3D franklin5.world) (SID_NAME =3D 05) (ORACLE_HOME =3D /ora1/81764) (PRESPAWN_MAX =3D 10) ) (SID_DESC =3D (SDU=3D8192)(TDU=3D8192) (GLOBAL_DBNAME =3D franklin6.world) (SID_NAME =3D 06) (ORACLE_HOME =3D /ora1/81764) (PRESPAWN_MAX =3D 10) ) (SID_DESC =3D (SDU=3D8192)(TDU=3D8192) (GLOBAL_DBNAME =3D franklin7.world) (SID_NAME =3D 07) (ORACLE_HOME =3D /ora1/92) (PRESPAWN_MAX =3D 10) ) ) SID_LIST_EXTPROC9_LISTENER =3D (SID_LIST =3D (SID_DESC =3D (SID_NAME =3D 10) (ORACLE_HOME =3D /ora1/92) (PROGRAM =3D extproc) ) ) Dick Goulet Senior Oracle DBA Oracle Certified 8i DBA ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
