Multiple sets of dispatchers are possible and are distinguished by their INDEX number. If you want to specify a new set of dispatchers with the specific port, you can use the INDEX= attribute to set up a set of dispatchers other than the set you already have with implicit INDEX=0: SQL> alter system set dispatchers='(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=foobar)(port=22505))(dispatchers=1)(index=1)' Then you can shut down the old dispatchers that don't have the specific port number if you want: SQL> alter system shutdown immediate 'D001'; etc. -- Jeremiah Wilton http://www.speakeasy.net/~jwilton On Tue, 10 Aug 2004 J.Velikanovs@xxxxxxxx wrote: > it's seems you cant change adress of dispachers on the fly. > "Mary Bahrami" <mbahrami@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > This seems like it should be easy: > > 1* alter system set = > dispatchers=3D'(address=3D(HOST=3Dcary.biz.com)(port=3D3620))' > SQL> / > alter system set = > dispatchers=3D'(address=3D(HOST=3Dcary.biz.com)(port=3D3620))' > * > ERROR at line 1: > ORA-00105: dispatching mechanism not configured for network protocol > (address=3D(HOST=3Dcary.biz.com)(port=3D3620)) > > also, > alter system set = > dispatchers=3D'(address=3D(protocol=3DTCP)(port=3D36200))(dispatchers=3D1= > )' > * > ERROR at line 1: > ORA-00105: dispatching mechanism not configured for network protocol > (address=3D(protocol=3DTCP)(port=3D36200)) > > > I've tried various permutations, same message. 9.2.0.4 solaris. = > Currently have 5 dispatchers running TCP. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
