Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> 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
