Applies to:
Oracle Net Services - Version 9.0.1.0 to 12.1.0.2B1 [Release 9.0.1 to 12.1]Information in this document applies to any platform.
The listener process can be started without a listener.ora file in place.
Generic to any OS platform and all the DB versions.
The moment " lsnrctl start "
command is passed,
the listener utility searched for listener.ora file under " $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin "
and then $TNS_ADMIN locations.
if the listener.ora file is not found,
default values for the following are assumed by the listener:
PROTOCOL=tcp
HOST= localhost
PORT=1521
and a simple listener is started.
Goal
lsnrctl start => starts the default listener even without listener.ora file.
