What is a listener.ora file?

Rating:

A listener.ora file is a listener configuration file that is used to configure listeners on an Oracle server. Only one listener.ora file can be configured for an Oracle server. However, a single listener.ora file contains configuration information for all the listeners configured on the Oracle server. A listener.ora file identifies the following information for a listener:

  • Listener's name

  • Protocol addresses on which the listener is accepting connection requests

  • Services for which the listener is listening
The listener.ora file typically resides in /network/admin on UNIX platforms and ORACLE_HOME etwork\admin on Windows NT.
