How do I find out my listener name?

It can be found in the “$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin” directory on the server. Here is an example of a basic “listener. ora” file from Linux. We can see the listener has the default name of “LISTENER” and is listening for TCP connections on port 1521.

How do you find a listener?

Do the following:

  1. Log on to the host where the Oracle database resides.
  2. Change to the following directory: Solaris: Oracle_HOME/bin. Windows: Oracle_HOMEbin.
  3. To start the listener service, type the following command: Solaris: lsnrctl START. Windows: LSNRCTL. …
  4. Repeat step 3 to verify that the TNS listener is running.
