Memory windows & Oracle

I understand most of the ideas around memory windows and how I can place different Oracel Instances in different memory windows. Here is my question:
Does this impact the listener? Can it still communicate with all the databases in which are running in different memory windows?

Re: Memory windows & Oracle

Hi,

Your listener should be fine. We used to run Oracle 7 in 32 bit with multiple windows, and I don't remember having any issues with the listener.

Re: Memory windows & Oracle

We are running a mix of Oracle 7 & ORacle 8 databases. And we are using a single Oracle 8 listener for all (Currently).
Any red flags here???

Re: Memory windows & Oracle

The listener needs to be 32bit... otherwise you will get problems.

Re: Memory windows & Oracle

Our listener is Oracle 8 - 64bit.

Will this be a show stopper?

Re: Memory windows & Oracle

If you look at the same issue in this forum, it seems that you need one listener by memory windows.

Re: Memory windows & Oracle

Hi,

well, AFAIK, yes this will not work!
The listener must be started using the same memory window id as the instance itself, which excludes a 64bit listener automatically...
You'll even have to use individual listeners for each and every instance running in a memory window of its own (the same as the instance, of course).

HTH,

Re: Memory windows & Oracle

I am told that Oracle told us we can not run multiple listeners.
Am I getting bad information?
Also, one of the previous responses indicated that 'he' was using multiple windows with a single listener.
Who's right???

Re: Memory windows & Oracle

Hi,
Woodish is right, you will need 1 listener per instance running in the same memory window:
$ ps -ef|grep tns

Re: Memory windows & Oracle

There is no problem running multiple listeners as long as there are no port conflicts.

In MC/SG, I always have a dedicated listener that moves with the package so that if multiple packages are running on the same node, multiple listeners are running.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
