The parameter is useful when it is difficult to change an existing client connect string, for example, after an offsite database has been moved into the Oracle Cloud. With the FORWARD_LISTENER
parameter, clients can continue to connect to their offsite listener, and the offsite listener forwards the connection to the Oracle Cloud listener.
Once a forward listener has been configured through the FORWARD_LISTENER
parameter, the LOCAL_LISTENER
parameter can be cleared by setting its value to -oracle-none-
so that all the connections coming to an existing set of remote listeners configured through the REMOTE_LISTENER
parameter are forwarded only to listeners configured through FORWARD_LISTENER
.
The FORWARD_LISTENER
parameter can also be specified in the LISTENER_NETWORKS
parameter.
The following setup can be used to forward all the database connections coming to an existing customer SCAN listener to the Oracle Cloud SCAN listener.
REMOTE_LISTENER=customer-scan FORWARD_LISTENER=oracle-cloud-scan LOCAL_LISTENER=oracle-none-
