Rudy, Is this 10g? If so, it might be part of the Oracle Notification System (ONS). My listener was running hot due to a port conflit with 10g Grid Control. I fixed it by editing the listenter.ora file and adding the following line: SUBSCRIBE_FOR_NODE_DOWN_EVENT_LISTNR10=3DOFF=20 Jeff T. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rudy Zung Sent: Friday, January 28, 2005 2:02 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: listener.log: "Subscription node down event still pending" My listener locked up early this week,=3D20 so I decided to poke into the listener.log to see if there was anything suspicious (didn't find anything.) But I do see a lot of "WARNING: Subscription for node down event still pending." No TNS-nnnnn nor ORA-nnnnn error number associated with it. What is that warning about, and how do I make it not be pending? TIA -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
