Re:RE: Multiple Listeners

[Stephen Andert]

Dick,   Well, I've not seen the bug you describe and we have over 20 db's in one listener on several different boxes. We are in 8.1.6 on Compaq Tru64.   We did have a problem trying to get one listener in 8.1.6 to listed for 8.0.x and 7.3.x databases and WWS discovered that a bug they thought was fixed in 8i was not fixed for Compaq.    We're now looking at OID.  Any horror/success stories out there?   Stephen >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/16/01 04:47PM >>> Alex,     This gets down to the amount of trust your damagement has in you.  If they are more tempted to listen to outside assertions that you have already heard, then it's time to move on because your being treated like a trained monkey.  My management does ask questions on this type of subject when they've heard something new outside.  It's normally just tossed in my direction as a "Hey I heard that these folks are doing this.  What do you think?".  In which case I normally find out what their doing & why and what Oracle says about it as well. If it does not make sense, it ends up in the round file & there is no more discussion.  It also helps to have management types who have some knowledge of the technology.  The result is less of the problem you state.     From a listener perspective, there is only one absolutely good reason that I've found to run more than one listener per node & that is that after you pass 10 DB's in one listener it appears to run out of memory & won't listen for the others.  I did find a bug on Metalink on the subject, but it was suppose to have been fixed in 8.0.6 though I've not verified that.

If your damager ask you how many listeners you are running and you answer one and he/she ( no sexizm :-)) heard that someone running 2 or 3 ( from another moro... err damager) - how would you explain why you are running only one. I hope that Ross can add more reasons to run at least 2 or better 3 listeners.

You have 3 little databases and one big bad listener whichs huffs and puffs and connects your clients to the instance of their choice. What would you benefit from having 3 listeners? > -----Original Message----- > From: Edward W.
