Hello
env: Oracle 11gR2 - on Orable Linux 6.2 64bit
I configured a database server for the client. I installed GI and the RDBMS home as per Oracle standards. Then I configured the listener to run fro the GI home. So the location of the "tnsnames,ora" and "listener.ora" files is $GI_HOME/network/admin.
Client's DBA is asking me to comply with their standard for the location of these two file. Here is what he is asking for:
/opt/oracle/ owner = oracle, group = dba (permissions 755)
/var/opt/oracle owner = oracle, group = dba (permissions 755)
- - touch /var/opt/oracle/listener.ora
- - touch /var/opt/oracle/tnsnames.ora
- - chown oracle:dba /var/opt/oracle/listener.ora
- - chown oracle:dba /var/opt/oracle/tnsnames.ora
- - ln -s /var/opt/oracle/tnsnames.ora /etc/tnsnames.ora
- - ln -s /var/opt/oracle/listener.ora /etc/listener.ora
I am completely lost here. I don't know if I move these two files to the "/etc" folder, how will the LISTENER know about the presence of these files in "/etc".
His reason for this is to support possibility of having multiple Oracle RDBMS homes. I don't know what he is talking about.
Please advise.
Best regards
