Using Listeners

A listener is a process that is setup specifically to receive and respond to client connection requests to a database or other service.

Double-click on the Listeners folder to display individual listeners already configured on the network. Each listener is identified by a listener icon and the name of the listener.

If there are no listeners currently configured on the network, you can add a listener by pressing on the + button, or by selecting Create from the Edit menu. A dialog box will then appear requesting that you name the listener. For more information on naming the listener, click on "Naming a Listener".

Click on any individual listener icon to display configurable parameters on the right hand side screen. Use the pull down menu to select additional listener features which may be configured.
