Hi!

I have started up a SR at Metalink. But we ran in to another problem while trying to solve my SR.
It seems that the instance are not registered with the listener. Below is a part from lsnrctl services command:

**********************************************************
Service "DB906" has 3 instance(s).
Instance "DB906", status READY, has 2 handler(s) for this service...
Handler(s):
"DEDICATED" established:0 refused:0 state:ready
REMOTE SERVER
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=SESTOWS47)(PORT=1521))
"DEDICATED" established:7395 refused:0 state:ready
LOCAL SERVER
Instance "DB906", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Handler(s):
"DEDICATED" established:3079 refused:0 state:ready
REMOTE SERVER

Instance "DB906", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Handler(s):
"DEDICATED" established:4186 refused:0 state:ready
REMOTE SERVER
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=SESTOWS49)(PORT=1521))
************************************************************
Getting an ORA-12521 when trying this:

sqlplus dnmps@DB9061

So, my question is, how do I register the instance with the listener? (is not this done automatically?)

Regards
H

Try below command.
alter system register;



Also edit listener.ora file and add sid name.

ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor



One reason is default listener registration is DYNAMIC you have to change DYNAMIC to STATIC.
edit your listener.ora file like below
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
(SID_DESC = 
(SID_NAME = orcl)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_1) )
)

C:\>LSNRCTL stop
C:\>REM WAIT FEW SECONDS
C:\>LSNRCTL start

Hi!

We are using RAC with three nodes and ASM and have a lot of databases. Shall I manually change the listener.ora?

Our listener.ora is almost empty. I guess this is populated automatically in some way?

The lsnrctl services command I showed you above seems wrong to me. Should there be three different instances? They are all listed as "DB906" but should read "DB9061,DB9062, DB9063".

I tried "alter system register" but how should I proceed in doing that? Should I log in to every instance (inst 1 from node 1) and alter system?

Thanks for helping!

Regards
H

As this question have something to do with this topic I post here instead of creating a new thread.

As you can se below the listener.ora are located here:
E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\asm\network\admin\listener.ora

But when looking in the file its almost empty. Where does the listener.ora gets it information? Is it from the tnsnames.ora?
We are using RAC with three nodes.

With V10+ Oracle no listener.ora is required/needed.
The Listener & DBs "autoregister"; kind of like ET phoning home.

Yes, that what was I thougth. But still, the listener.ora must get the values from somewhere?
We are using ASM.
This is our listener.ora:


# listener.ora.sestows47 Network Configuration File: E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\asm\network\admin\listener.ora.sestows47
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

SID_LIST_LISTENER_SESTOWS47 =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
      (ORACLE_HOME = E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\asm)
      (PROGRAM = extproc)
    )
  )

LISTENER_SESTOWS47 =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = sestons01.prg-dc.dhl.com)(PORT = 1521)(IP = FIRST))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 2.17.14.121)(PORT = 1521)(IP = FIRST))
    )
  )

With V10+ no listener.ora and tnsnames.ora ... required.

But when i connect to the db from client, the error appeared:

"ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service "

And then i try to create listener.ora in $ORACLE_HOME and


restart the listener, the other error appeared:

"TNS-01189: The listener could not authenticate the user"

Here is my listener.ora file:


# listener.ora Network Configuration File: /u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/network/admin/listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/10g)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
)

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = AIX_02)(PORT = 1521))
)
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))
)
)
)

Please provide thread number & time stamp where I stated that no tnsnames.ora file is required.

The example above shows I was able to make a SQL*Net connection & that no listener.ora file exists on this system.

The fact that that you can not correctly configure your site, does not mean that others suffer from similar problems.

I know with 100% certainty that no listener.ora file is required on V10 Oracle or higher.
I do believe that if the listener.ora is NOT correctly constructed that problems will result.

The point I have tried to stress, is that when one is having problems with their listener.ora file, perhaps they should rename it out of the way & bounce the listener process itself.
It is like giving chicken soup to a dead man; it can't hurt & just might help.

anacedent,

I installed 10g on AIX system and i did not find listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora at the server's folders.

when i try to connect to database server the error

ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service

So i'm confusing about the default listener at server side.

Does my problem cause by the listener not register with the dbs???

Maybe you should try create the listener with NetCA?

Hi,

Can U check the listener.ora files present at
1. $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
2. ASM_HOME/network/admin

Let me know

Hi!

The listener have been working fine for some time. But after some strange errors (listener dies, CRS-errors) some DBs are nnot registered with the listener. We are using dynamic registration.

Listenerlog:
Quote:

14-FEB-2008 15:38:27 * (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=DB012)(CID=(PROGRAM=E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\agent10g\perl\5.8.3\bin\MSWin32-X64-multi-thread\perl.exe)(HOST=SESTO WS48)(USER=SYSTEM))) * (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=2.17.14.122)(PORT=4707)) * establish * DB012 * 12505
TNS-12505: swedish rabble Smile



Its only 4 of 24 DBs that are affected. How to reregister the instances? Can I use ALTER SYSTEM register? But I must be connected to the instance, dont I?

Regards
H

TNS-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor
 *Cause:  The listener received a request to establish a connection to a
 database or other service. The connect descriptor received by the listener
 specified a SID for an instance (usually a database instance) that either
 has not yet dynamically registered with the listener or has not been
 statically configured for the listener. This may be a temporary condition
 such as after the listener has started, but before the database instance
 has registered with the listener.
 *Action:
  - Wait a moment and try to connect a second time.
  - Check which instances are currently known by the listener by executing:
    lsnrctl services <listener name>
  - Check that the SID parameter in the connect descriptor specifies
    an instance known by the listener.
  - Check for an event in the listener.log file.

Michel

Hi!

I know what the ORA-error means. But how do I make the instance dynamicaly register with the listener?
