ORA-00119: invalid specification for system parameter LOCAL_LISTENER
Today morning, when i tried to startup our production database, it shows following errors
SQL> STARTUP
ORA-00119: invalid specification for system parameter LOCAL_LISTENER
ORA-00132: syntax error or unresolved network name ‘LISTENER_BROKER’
I was struggled with these erros and finally i was fixed this errors with help of Mr.Surachart opun http://surachartopun.com . He given solutions and fixed easily. Thanks Mr.Surachart.
How was i did it?
My tnsnames file :
BROKER =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ipaddress)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = BROKER)
)
)
and My listener.ora file.
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ipaddress )(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
)
)
and now i tired to startup my db, the below error shown.
SQL> STARTUP
ORA-00119: invalid specification for system parameter LOCAL_LISTENER
ORA-00132: syntax error or unresolved network name ‘LISTENER_BROKER’
So i fixed in tnsnames.ora file and then now its working.
LISTENER_BROKER =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ipaddress )(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = BROKER)
)
)
After i fixed this listener_broker in tnsnames.ora file, the database up sucessfully.

This mean you use LOCAL_LISTENER=’LISTENER_BROKER’
So, First Step – you have to check LISTENER_BROKER(network name) in tnsnames.ora file
and Syntax…

Thanks Sir.I agreed your comment.Sure, we want to check first in tnsnames.ora file.
it works man, thanks
Well, Thanks.
please tell me what i am doing wrong:
tnsnames.ora:
LISTENER_BID =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = bid01 )(PORT = 1527))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = bid01)
)
)
listener.ora:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = BID)
(ORACLE_HOME = ORACLE_HOME = I:\oracle\BID\102)
)
)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = bid01 )(PORT = 1527))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = BID))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = BID.WORLD))
)
)
still getting:
SQL> startup
ORA-00119: invalid specification for system parameter LOCAL_LISTENER
ORA-00132: syntax error or unresolved network name ‘LISTENER_BID’
SQL>
??
thanks in advance
Thank you, its was a useful for me as well
hi sir iam getting error pls give solution
Hi Guys ! ..
The solution is mentioned in the error only ..
ORA-00119: invalid specification for system parameter LOCAL_LISTENER
ORA-00132: syntax error or unresolved network name ‘LISTENER_BID’
Question is —– you are getting above error
Answer is ——Just Change the name in your connect discriptor to be called by LISTENER_BID only.
that will resolve your problem.
$tnsping LISTENER_BID
Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.11.9)(PORT = 2222)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = BID)))
OK (0 msec)
