Re: web listener and dcd

Hello !

A web listener is the (configured) web server.

The DCD (Database Connection Descriptor) must be configured to use a low priviledged database user. The field "Authorized Ports" is very important. Here You must enter the HTTP ports over which a PL/SQL procedure can be executed. The other options should be self explaining.

In the web listener administration You must map a virtual directory (initially /ows-bin/ with option CN) to $ORACLE_HOME/ows??/bin/. So You must use the virtual directory name to addess the owa. Ooops - another abbreviation.

owa (oracle web agent) is a CGI that interpretes the request, chooses the dcd (but sorry, I don't know how), connects to the database with the db-user set for the dcd and executes the pl/sql procedure.
