Starting and Stopping the Listener Using the Listener Control Utility
In this section you learn how to start and stop the listener using the listener control utility. These steps are applicable when you cannot access Enterprise Manager Database Control to start or stop your listener.
Perform the steps listed below to check the status of the listener, to stop the listener, and to start the listener using the listener control utility:
1. Log on to the operating system as the oracle user. You can check the status of the listener by issuing the
following command:
lsnrctl status

Configuring Local Naming for Connecting to Other Databases
In this section you configure local naming to connect to another database. You can configure local naming using Net Manager on a
client PC or using Enterprise Manager as described in the following sections:
Configuring Local Naming Using Net Manager
Configuring Local Naming Using Enterprise Manager
Configuring Local Naming Using Net Manager
You must configure a client machine so it can connect to an Oracle database. You must first install Oracle Database client software, which includes Oracle Net software. Once you have installed Oracle Net, you can use Oracle Net Manager to configure a
net service name using the local naming method as follows:
1.
On Windows, start Oracle Net Manager by clicking:
Start->Programs->Oracle->Configuration and Migration Tools->Net Manager
On UNIX or Linux, invoke Oracle Net Manager by entering netmgr at the command line.
The Welcome window appears.
