had the same issues solution add this to tnsnames.ora SUBSCRIBE_FOR_NODE_DOWN_EVENT_LISTENER=OFF have had this in for 6 months now and have nto had this issue again ----- Original Message ---- From: Robert Pegram <pegramrg@xxxxxxxxx> To: paulastankus@xxxxxxxxx; oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2006 8:43:04 AM Subject: Re: listener processes being spawned 10g We ran into the same issue (10.2.0.1) and support referred us to this note (284602.1). The note documents two solutions. We implemented solution one (rename ons.config), but the problem re-occurred 2 months later. Then we were told to implement both solutions. This was about 3 weeks ago, so we will wait and see if it occurs again.
