Sorry guys... I mean the listener.log file :( It's been a long week! >>> "DIANNA GIBBS" <DIANNA.GIBBS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 03/14/07 12:45 PM >>> I'm new to the AIX world, but seemed to remember I can rename the listener.ora file without bouncing the listener. Does anyone do this? Thoughts? TIA. Dianna G. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
