Services coordinate their sessions with the help of a listener, a process on the server that receives connection requests on behalf of a client application. Listeners are configured to "listen on" protocol addresses for a database service or non-database service.
Protocol addresses are configured in the listener configuration file, listener.ora, for a database service or a non-database service.
Once the listener is configured, the listener may be managed with the LSNRCTL utility.
