2.6 Configuring tlisten Processes to Start Automatically

The Listener page enables you to view, create, or modify tlisten services on your Windows Server system.

Figure 2-8 Oracle Administration Window with Listener Page Displayed

During the Oracle Tuxedo installation, the installer program installed a tlisten service on your Windows Server system. Each time you boot your system, the tlisten service starts a tlisten process on port 3050 of your machine. The password associated with the tlisten process is the one you entered during the installation.

A tlisten process must be started on each machine of a networked Oracle Tuxedo application before the Oracle Tuxedo system and application servers can boot. You use the tlisten process to perform administrative actions across multiple machines. To learn more about tlisten processes, see tlisten(1)in Oracle Tuxedo Command Reference.

To add, remove, stop, or start tlisten services using the Listener page, follow these steps.

1. To add a tlisten service, enter a port number in the Port Number field and then click Add. (Generally, you need one tlisten process for each Oracle Tuxedo application running on your machine.)
2. To remove a tlisten service, select the tlisten service you want to delete and then click Remove.
3. To stop a tlisten service that has been started, select the tlisten service you want to stop and then click Stop.
4. To start a tlisten service that has been stopped, select the tlisten service you want to start and then click Start.
5. Click OK or Apply to write your changes to the Windows Server Registry.

Besides viewing and controlling tlisten services using the Listener page, you can click Start → Programs → Administrative Tools → Services to launch the Services window and then view and control tlisten services via the Services window.
