Create a Listener

A listener must exist on the server in order for the database to receive connections.

| Note: During the installation process, a default listener named LISTENER is created.

To create a listener:

1. In the navigator pane, expand Net8 Configuration > Local > Listeners.

2. Choose plus (+) from the toolbar, or choose Edit > Create. The Choose Listener Name dialog box appears.

3. Accept the listener name provided in the Listener Name field, or edit the field with another name. By default the listener name is LISTENER for the first listener. Subsequent listener names are defaulted to LISTENERn. The listener name must be unique on any given node.

4. Choose OK.

5. Complete steps 4-6 in Configure Listener Addresses.
