Named Pipes identifies a listener protocol address by a pipe name that is unique to the node. One process (the server side of the application) creates the pipe, and the other process (the client side) opens it by name.
Use the standard pipe name of ORAPIPE
Select this option to listen on the default pipe name ORAPIPE . Oracle recommends that you do not change this pipe name.
Use another pipe name
Select this option to specify another pipe name to use other than ORAPIPE . Ensure that the listener was configured for this pipe name as well.
