OK, Someone dope slap me! I added the following to my init.ora file (8.1.7.0 on HP-UX 11.0). The dispatchers start up just fine, but won't register with the listener (also 8.1.7.0). I've already done the RTFM and MetaLink RTFM but can't see the problem.
mts_servers=5 mts_max_dispatchers=10 mts_max_servers=40 service_names=05 # mts_dispatchers="(PROTOCOL=ipc)(DISPATCHERS=2)" mts_dispatchers="(PROTOCOL=TCP)(DISPATCHERS=4)" local_listener="(address_list=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(KEY=05)) (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(PORT=1521)(HOST=bart)))" Thanks for the second set of eyes. BTW, the end result would be to have all outside TCP connections use MTS only.
