WARNING: Subscription for node down event still pending' in Listener Log

These messages are related to the Oracle TNS Listener's default subscription to the Oracle Notification Service (ONS). In a non-RAC environment it is recommended to disable this subscription.   This feature was introduced in Oracle 10g.



SOLUTION

Set the following parameter in the listener.ora:

SUBSCRIBE_FOR_NODE_DOWN_EVENT_<listener_name>=OFF

Where <listener_name> should be replaced with the actual listener name configured in the
LISTENER.ORA file.

SUBSCRIBE_FOR_NODE_DOWN_EVENT_<listener_name> parameter is to be placed by itself on an empty line.

It will be necessary to restart or reload the listener following the addition of this parameter.

This will prevent the messages from being written to the log file and may also prevent the TNS
Listener from hanging periodically.  See (10g only) NOTE 340091.1 Intermittent TNS Listener Hang, New Child Listener Process Forked

Please Note: Setting SUBSCRIBE_FOR_NODE_DOWN_<listener_name> to OFF disables a necessary RAC functionality. The above workaround is recommended only for non-RAC environments. 
The issue may be present in all 10g and newer installations.

Note:  The use of this undocumented parameter may cause problems with the use of the Net Manager (NetMgr) configuration utility.  See Note 437598.1 NetMGR May Error When Listener.ora File Contains:SUBSCRIBE_FOR_NODE_DOWN_EVENT

I am posting this because i faced same error in one of my 11g database.
