RE: Listener with mixed releases

GovindanK,

                Well TNS_ADMIN is for config files like *ora files

Sun Solaris running Oracle 8i or 9i

    First: The oracle user's home directory is searched for a hidden '.tnsnames.ora'

    Second: The value of the TNS_ADMIN environment variable.     Third: /var/opt/oracle
    Fourth: $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin

  I prefer using /var/opt/oracle or /etc on HP because I can't guarantee my clients have the TNS_ADMIN variable set in their environment and don't want them to change something they may not know how to do.

  One server had 8 different tnsnames.ora files, some we installed and some we didn't.

  I don't see how this has any effect on lsnrctl which is executed from your $PATH.
That may change when you do a
". oraenv"

	Thanks
	Larry

Correction. Should be TNS_ADMIN variable and the exact link is http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/gateways.102/b16209/ch 4.htm#sthref288
