BWT: If you are using the default listener port and your listener running on the local then this entry in a init.ora file is redundant (you don't need it). Oracle Instance will try to register ton default port anyway. Only case it make since to put it in the ini.ora file is then you are using non default port or a listener you would like to register with located on different host the your Instance located (despite of the fact that parameter name is local_listener you can do it ;)

If you are using a port other than 1521 then this would help in registering the database with the listener.
