Veritas InfoScale™ 7.4.1 Installation and Upgrade Guide - Windows

To associate the database with the listener

1. Ensure that the initialization parameter file contains the following entries:

   • SERVICE_NAMES (the name of the database service)

   • INSTANCE_NAME (the name of the database instance)

   These parameters are created during installation or database creation.

2. Use one of the following procedures to configure the new attribute listener_alias:

   Run the following SQL command:

   SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET LOCAL_LISTENER='<listener_alias>' scope=spfile;
   			

   OR

   Add the following entry to the initialization parameter file (pfile or spfile):

   LOCAL_LISTENER = <listener_alias>

3. Define the parameter listener_alias. If your Oracle configuration uses the file tnsnames.ora, edit the file as instructed below. The default location of tnsnames.ora is %ORACLE_HOME%\NETWORK\ADMIN.

   Add the following to tnsnames.ora file:

   <listener_alias>=
   (DESCRIPTION =
   (ADDRESS=(Protocol=TCP)(HOST=virtual_IP_address)(Port=1521))
   )

4. Stop and restart the database.

   The listener_alias parameter gets appended by the default domain name that is specified in the file sqlnet.ora.
