Ports
You might be able to use the same listener for both the existing database and the
OracleAS Metadata Repository database. You have to consider the version of the
existing listener as well as the port number.
You can change the OracleAS Metadata Repository listener to use a different port after
installation. See the Oracle Application Server Administrator's Guide for details.

Version of the
Existing Listener Existing Listener Uses Port 1521
Earlier than 10.1.0.2 You need two listeners: one for the existing
database and one for the OracleAS Metadata
Repository.
See Section 2.5.4.1.1, "Scenario 1: Existing
Listener Uses Port 1521 and Listener Version
Is Earlier Than
10.1.0.2 or later The existing listener supports both the
existing database and the OracleAS
Metadata Repository.
See Section 2.5.4.1.2, "Scenario 2: Existing
Listener Uses Port 1521 and Listener Version
Is 10.1.0.2 or Later"
To check the listener version, run the following command:
prompt> $ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl VERSION
where ORACLE_HOME is the home directory for your database.
You can also use the same command to check the listener port.
Here is an example of the command's output:
bin/lsnrctl VERSION

2.5.4.1.1 Scenario 1: Existing Listener Uses Port 1521 and Listener Version Is Earlier Than
10.1.0.2 Listeners earlier than version 10.1.0.2 are not compatible with the OracleAS
Metadata Repository from this Oracle Application Server release. What you need to do
is to install the OracleAS Metadata Repository, which installs a version 10.1.0.3
listener. You can then use this new listener to service your existing database and the
OracleAS Metadata Repository database.
Stop the existing listener before you install the OracleAS Metadata Repository.
