General Parameters: General

The General tab enables you to configure general parameters for the listener.

Listener Name

Displays the name of the listener.

Startup Wait Time

Enter the number of seconds that the listener will sleep before responding to a STATUS command issued by LSNRCTL. By default, the listener does not wait. Set this field only if:

1. The service is running on the same computer as the listener.

2. On startup, the listener directs requests to a service that is not available because it takes longer to start than the listener process.

Connect Time Out

Enter the time the listener will wait for a valid database query once a session has started. By default, the listener will wait 10 seconds before timing out.

Options

Save Configuration on Shutdown | Choose to make permanent any changes made by the LSNRCTL SET command.
Register Services with Oracle Names | Choose to instruct the listener to register its services with Oracle Names servers. When the listener starts, it registers its service information with Oracle Names servers.

SNMP Contact Information

Enter any text to be written to the snmp.ora file for use with Oracle Enterprise Manager. This information will be sent with any SNMP connection, and can be any string. It does not affect the process of creating an SNMP connection. This information generally consists of contact information for the client's user or administrator.
