Ports

Oracle Application Server Installation Guide

You might be able to use the same listener for both the existing database and the
OracleAS Metadata Repository database. You have to consider the version of the
existing listener as well as the port number.

Table 2–5

shows scenarios and outcomes.

You can change the OracleAS Metadata Repository listener to use a different port after
installation. See the Oracle Application Server Administrator’s Guide for details.

To check the listener version, run the following command:

prompt> $ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl VERSION

where ORACLE_HOME is the home directory for your database.

You can also use the same command to check the listener port.

Here is an example of the command’s output:

bin/lsnrctl VERSION

LSNRCTL for HPUX: Version 10.1.0.5 - Production on 23-SEP-2005 19:15:32

Scenario 1: Existing Listener Uses Port 1521 and Listener Version Is Earlier Than

10.1.0.2

Listeners earlier than version 10.1.0.2 are not compatible with the OracleAS

Metadata Repository from this Oracle Application Server release. What you need to do
is to install the OracleAS Metadata Repository, which installs a version 10.1.0.3
listener. You can then use this new listener to service your existing database and the
OracleAS Metadata Repository database.

Stop the existing listener before you install the OracleAS Metadata Repository.

Existing Listener Uses a Port Other Than
1521

Earlier than 10.1.0.2 You need two listeners: one for the existing

database and one for the OracleAS Metadata
Repository.
