How to set LOCAL_LISTENER using Alter System Set Command in Oracle

Hi,

I will explain How to set LOCAL_LISTENER Parameter in Oracle using alter system set command in this post.

 

LOCAL_LISTENER Parameter in Oracle

Oracle database has two listener as follows.

• Local Listener
• Remote Listener

 

 

 

 

You can connect to database via Listeners if you connect from remote client.

If you are using the Single Instance Oracle database, then you are using the local listener.

 

 

ALTER SYSTEM SET LOCAL_LISTENER

 

You can set the local listener parameter as follows.

 

Syntax:

ALTER SYSTEM SET LOCAL_LISTENER=["]listener_address["][,...];


ALTER SYSTEM SET LOCAL_LISTENER='(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOl=TCP)(HOST=HOSTNAME/IP_ADRESS)(PORT=1521))' SCOPE=BOTH;


ALTER SYSTEM SET LOCAL_LISTENER='(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOl=TCP)(HOST=192.168.63.34)(PORT=1521))' SCOPE=BOTH;

 

 

I have set the local listener parameter as follows.

Once you set the local listener, don’t forget running of register command as follows.

Lsnrctl Status / Lsnrctl start / stop

You can also create a static listener and start it as follows.

Add the following listener descriptions to the listener.ora file under $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin.

 

Check your Hostname, Port, DB Name and fill them correctly.

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.63.34)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
)
)

SID_LIST_LISTENER = 
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = MSDBA)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1 )
(SID_NAME = MSDBA )
)
)
