Attribute definition for the Netlsnr agent
Review the description of the Netlsnr agent attributes. The agent attributes are classified as required, optional, and internal.
Table: Required attributes for Netlsnr agent lists the required attributes for Netlsnr agent. You must assign values to the required attributes.
Table: Required attributes for Netlsnr agent
Required attributes | Type and dimension | Definition |
|---|---|---|
Owner | string-scalar | The Oracle user, as the defined owner of executables and database files in /etc/passwd. The agent also supports LDAP users as Oracle user. |
Home | string-scalar | The $ORACLE_HOME path to Oracle binaries and configuration files. For example, you could specify the path as /opt/ora_home. Do not append a slash (/) at the end of the path. |
Table: Optional attributes for Netlsnr agent lists the optional attributes for Netlsnr agent. You can configure the optional attributes if necessary.
Table: Optional attributes for Netlsnr agent
Optional attributes | Type and dimension | Definition |
|---|---|---|
TnsAdmin | string-scalar | The $TNS_ADMIN path to directory in which the Listener configuration file resides (listener.ora). Default is /var/opt/oracle. |
Listener | string-scalar | Name of Listener. The name for Listener is considered case-insensitive by the Netlsnr agent and the Oracle database server. Default is LISTENER. |
LsnrPwd | string-scalar | The VCS encrypted password used to stop and monitor the listener. This password is set in the Listener configuration file. Encrypt passwords only when entering them using the command-line. Passwords must be encrypted using the VCS Encrypt utility. |
EnvFile | string-scalar | Specifies the full path name of the file that is sourced by the entry point scripts. This file contains the environment variables set by the user for the Oracle listener environment such as LD_LIBRARY_PATH and so on. The syntax for the contents of the file depends on the login shell of Owner. This file must readable by Owner. The file must not contain any prompts for user input. |
MonScript | string-scalar | Pathname to the script provided for detail monitoring. By default, the detail monitoring is enabled to monitor the listener process. Note: If the value of the attribute MonScript is set to an empty string, the agent disables detail monitoring. The pathname to the supplied detail monitoring script is /opt/VRTSagents/ha/bin/Netlsnr/LsnrTest.pl. MonScript also accepts a pathname relative to /opt/VRTSagents/ha. A relative pathname should start with "./", as in the path ./bin/Netlsnr/LsnrTest.pl. |
Encoding | string-scalar | Specifies operating system encoding that corresponds to Oracle encoding for the displayed Oracle output. Default is "". |
IntentionalOffline | For future use. Do not change the value of this attribute. Default = 0 | |
AgentDebug | boolean | Additional debug messages are logged when this flag is set. Default = 0 |
Table: Internal attributes for Netlsnr agent lists the internal attribute for Netlsnr agent. This attribute is for internal use only. Veritas recommends not to modify the value of this attribute.
Table: Internal attributes for Netlsnr agent
Optional Attributes | Type and Dimension | Definition |
|---|---|---|
AgentDirectory | static-string | Specifies the location of binaries, scripts, and other files related to the Netlsnr agent. Default is /opt/VRTSagents/ha/bin/Netlsnr. |
