Other Services

A listener may handle requests for other services, not necessarily database services, for example, the external PL/SQL service or Oracle Application Services.

To configure a listener to handle requests for other services, you will need to provide information that the listener needs to identify and then start those services. You do this by specifying the following:

Global Service Name

The global service name is the name and domain name of the non-database service. To specify the global service name, enter any valid service name in the Global Service Name field.

Program Name

The Program Name identifies the service's executable program name, for example, "extproc.exe".

Program Argument Zero

The Program Argument Zero specifies the internal first argument (argv0) which is often used as an alternative program name.

Program Arguments

Program arguments is used to specify the command line arguments that should be passed when starting the service, for example, "-mode=5".

Environment

Enter any environment variables which should be set prior to starting the service. Environment variables are specified in the following format:

"<environment_variable>=<values>,..."

for example, "user=scott, start=immediate". Note that variables are separated by commas.

SID

The SID or system identifier is the Oracle system ID for the service. It is required if there is more than one service installed on a machine. To specify the SID, enter the name of the identifier in the SID field.

Add Service

To add the service specified, click on the Add Service tab.

Remove Service

To remove the service specified, click on the Remove Service tab.
