The parsing software supports a name-value syntax to enable the specification of attributes in a position-independent, case-insensitive manner. For example:
DISPATCHERS = '(PROTOCOL=TCP)(DISPATCHERS=3)'
Attributes may be specified using the full attribute name or any substring beginning with the first 3 characters. For example, SESSIONS
can be specified as SES
, SESS
, SESSI
, and so on.
Specify only one of the following attributes: PROTOCOL
, ADDRESS
, or DESCRIPTION
. If you specify either ADDRESS
or DESCRIPTION
, then you can specify additional network attributes. Doing so supports multi-homed hosts.
dispatch_clause
-
PROTOCOL
The network protocol for which the dispatcher generates a listening endpoint.
-
ADDRESS
The network protocol address of the endpoint on which the dispatchers listen.
-
DESCRIPTION
The network description of the endpoint on which the dispatchers listen, including the protocol address.
options_clause
-
DISPATCHERS
The initial number of dispatchers to start. The default is 1.
-
SESSIONS
The maximum number of network sessions to allow for each dispatcher. The default is operating system-specific. Most operating systems have a default of 16 KB.
-
CONNECTIONS
The maximum number of network connections to allow for each dispatcher. The default is operating system-specific.
-
MULTIPLEX
Enables the Oracle Connection Manager session multiplexing feature.
-
The values
1
,ON
,YES
,TRUE
, andBOTH
indicate that Network Session Multiplex is enabled for both incoming and outgoing network connections. -
The value
IN
indicates that Network Session Multiplex is enabled for incoming network connections. -
The value
OUT
indicates that Network Session Multiplexing is enabled for outgoing network connections. -
The values
0
,NO
,OFF
, andFALSE
indicate that Network Session Multiplexing is disabled for both incoming and outgoing network connections. This is the default.
-
-
LISTENER
Specifies the network name of an address or address list of the Oracle Net listeners with which the dispatchers will register.
The
LISTENER
attribute facilitates administration of multi-homed hosts. This attribute specifies the appropriate listeners with which the dispatchers will register. TheLISTENER
attribute takes precedence over theLOCAL_LISTENER
andREMOTE_LISTENER
parameters. See "LOCAL_LISTENER" and "REMOTE_LISTENER". -
SERVICE
Specifies one or more names by which clients can connect to the dispatchers. The
SERVICE
attribute takes precedence over theSERVICE_NAMES
parameter. -
INDEX
Use this attribute in an
ALTER SYSTEM SET DISPATCHERS
statement to indicate which dispatcher configuration you want to modify. (If you specifyINDEX
in the initialization parameter file, the Oracle Database ignores it.) In anALTER SYSTEM
statement,INDEX
specifies the order in which the parameter's values were initialized. The value ranges from0
(for the first dispatcher configuration) to one less than the total number of dispatcher configurations you define.For example, if you specify 3 dispatcher configurations in the initialization parameter file, you would modify the third dispatcher configuration by specifying
INDEX
=2
in theALTER SYSTEM
statement. You could also add another dispatcher configuration in theALTER SYSTEM
statement by specifyingINDEX
=3
.If
INDEX
is not specified in theALTER SYSTEM
statement, then thePROTOCOL
,ADDRESS
, orDESCRIPTION
attributes must be specified, and if a dispatcher configuration matching thisPROTOCOL
,ADDRESS
, orDESCRIPTION
exists, then that configuration will be modified. Otherwise, a new configuration will be added.
