Hi Ndidi , They are configured in normal way. We have about 25 DB and all this DB use this catalog. tnsnames RMANP = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =hostname )(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = OCCM1) ) ) lisener LISTENER = (DESCRIPTION_LIST = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname )(PORT = 1521)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521)) ) ) SID_LIST_LISTENER = (SID_LIST = (SID_DESC = (SID_NAME = OCCM1) (GLOBAL_DBNAME = OCCM1) (ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/db/11.2.0.3) ) (SID_DESC = (SID_NAME = OCCM1) (GLOBAL_DBNAME = OCCM1DG1_DGMGRL) (ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/db/11.2.0.3) ) ) ADR_BASE_LISTENER = /opt/oracle # TRACE_LEVEL_listener=admin thanks *-----------------* *Tiran* *Best Regards Stay in touch...* On 4 October 2013 12:30, Ndidi Ibeachum <chinedui@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > How is the tnsnames and listener files configured on the recovery catalog? > > ------------------------------ > Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2013 11:39:16 +0200 > Subject: Re: Oracle Standby and RAMN CATALOG > From: mufc01666@xxxxxxxxx > To: chinedui@xxxxxxxxxx; dedba@xxxxxxxxxx; oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > > Dear Chinedu, > > Everything is configured like you said.
