PURPOSE

This document describes the required steps for starting up or stoping an Oracle Gateway on the
LINUX platform . The Oracle Gateway is started by Listener from right OH and with right SID .
All allowed Listeners should start / stop automatically by OS start / stop .

ASSUMPTIONS
 Oracle owner password has already been set to Merck standard (ormerck)
 /etc/oratab exists with entries for all SID , OH which are on server
 /opt/oracle/ormerck/admin/network/usesqlnet.ctl , allowed listeners to startup
 Listener.ora is in place all of OH
 OH/network/admin contains file listener.ora

MANUALLY STARTUP ORACLE GATEWAY LISTENER ON TARGET SERVER

(LINUX)
1. Login to the TARGET server as the Oracle Gateway owner (ormerck)
2. Check file for allowed Oracle Gateway Listeners on server
- Cat /opt/oracle/ormerck/admin/network/usesqlnet.ctl (OH and SID which are here are
allowed to start )
- Format: <owner><sp> <ORACLE_HOME><sp>< GATEWAY_LISTENER_SID >

3. Set the current environment to the “target OH “ by “SID”

a. $ . oraenv
4. Start listener(s)
a. LINUX
$ lsnrctl start <GATEWAY_LISTENER_SID>

Check Status of registered listeners:

$ lsnrctl status <GATEWAY_LISTENER_SID>
NOTE: Oracle Gateway Listeners should startup automatically with the server if
they have been correctly configured in file
/opt/oracle/ormerck/admin/network/usesqlnet.ctl . Startup is done by start script
> /etc/init.d/sqlnet ,
for manual use usage: /etc/init.d/sqlnet {start|stop|start_msg|stop_msg} , which is
calling during stop/start OS as well .
If they do not start automatically by OS startup , start using the commands above.

UPDATE SERVER STARTUP FILE WITH NEW LISTENER (LINUX)

1. Login to the TARGET server as the Database "ormerck" (Merck password)

2. Edit the server sqlnet config file

a. $ cd /opt/oracle/ormerck/admin/network
b. $ vi usesqlnet.ctl

3. Add a record for the new listener

a: Format:<owner><sp><ORACLE_HOME><sp>< GATEWAY_LISTENER_SID >
