6.11 Starting the tlisten Process

You, as the application administrator, must start a tlisten process on each machine of a networked Oracle Tuxedo application before the application is booted. The tlisten process enables you and the Oracle Tuxedo software running on the MASTER machine to start, shut down, and administer Oracle Tuxedo processes running on the non-MASTER machines. For example, tmboot(1) can start Oracle Tuxedo system servers on the non-MASTER machines. Generally, one tlisten process is required for each Oracle Tuxedo application running on a server machine.

In addition to the installer program starting a tlisten process on port 3050 during the installation of Oracle Tuxedo, a tlisten process may be started as shown in the following table.
