Post Installation Steps

 

Start the Oracle Mail Listener

The Oracle Mail listener, listener_es, listens for requests to send e-mail. Because the Email listener

listens on the privileged port 25, a privileged user, such as root, must start the listener. To start this

listener, perform the following steps:

1. Login as root to your machine hosting your OCS installation and set the ORACLE_HOME variable:

>$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.2/ocs_1/apps

2. Find out the ID and group ID of the oracle user who installed OCS:

>$ id oracle

uid=502(oracle) gid=502(oinstall) groups=502(oinstall)

3. Start the E-Mail listener using the following command:

>$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/tnslsnr listener_es -user 502 -group 502 &

4. Verify the listener is running:

>$ ps -ef | grep listener_es
oracle 1765 1 Oct01 ? 00:00:00 /u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.1
/ocs_1/apps/bin/tnslsnr listener_es -user 502 -group502

Really great document. Thanks for posting.

Once small doubt. Is it possible to change the email domain to some thing else. In my case its us.oracle.com and I want to change it to hostname.us.oracle.com is it possible?
