RE: Listener/Database shutdown sequence

Sometimes it does matter what is stopped rather than the order, but we can't tell why the original poster was asking. It depends on your environment. For example, one site I worked at had a separate listener for every database in their environment. Their reasoning was they made life easier for themselves when doing maintenance because they could just stop the listener and not worry about whether the database was accessible to normal users or not i.e. they didn't need to start the database in restricted mode, give extra privileges to application owner accounts temporarily while doing the maintenance and so on. This was for maintenance that required the app owner to log in to verify changes).

On the other hand, if you have a single listener for all your databases and you want to do maintenance on just one, you would not want to stop the listener at all.

Coming back to the original question, though, there is no dependency on the order, as you stated.

David,

it just doesn't matter. why do you even feel the need to shut the listener down?

Should the databases be shutdown before the listener or the other way around.

A DBA here (actually at Service Provider) believes that the listener has to
be shutdown before the databases in 8i according to some documentation (they

can't recall).

I am proposing:

Set Oracle 817 environment
shutdown database
stop 817 listener
set Oracle 806 environment
stop 806 listener

They feel it should be the other order:
Shutdown Listeners
Shutdown databases

Any comments and/or issues

David
