Use this page to add or edit an address for a net service name or a listener. The address you define here is the address on which the listener or service will wait for the client connections.
For example, listeners are configured to listen for incoming connection requests for a database on a specific network protocol address.
The fields on this page vary, depending upon the option you select from the Protocol drop-down list.
For example:
If you select TCP/IP or TCP/IP with SSL, you must enter the port, and host for the net service you are creating.
If you select IPC, you must enter an IPC key, which must be unique for the service.
The IPC (or Inter-process Communication) protocol can be used by client applications that resides on the same node as the listener to communicate with the database. IPC can provide a faster local connection than TCP/IP.
If the computer has more than one Oracle home or more than one listener, each listener must specify a unique KEY. Oracle recommends using the service name or the Oracle System Identifier (SID) of the service.
For more information about the protocol options available when you define a net service address, see the chapter "Protocol Address Configuration" in the Oracle Net Services Reference Guide.
In the Advanced Parameters area, specify the I/O buffer space limit for the listener.
These settings are supported by the TCP/IP, TCP/IP with SSL, and SDP protocols.
Specify, in bytes, the buffer space for send operations of sessions.
Because the database server writes data to clients, setting this parameter in the server-side is typically adequate. If the database server is receiving a large volume of requests, then set the Total Receive Buffer Size setting also.
Specify, in bytes, the buffer space for receive operations of sessions.
See the chapter "Optimizing Performance" in the Oracle Net Administrator's Guide for more information about configuring I/O buffer space.
