TNS-01194: The listener command did not arrive in a secure transport

In the log, we found "TNS-01194: The listener command did not arrive in a secure transport". Which means a remote instance tried to register services with the listener every 60 seconds but failed eventually.

The error tells us that Class of Secure Transports (COST) is actually taking effect, we don't have to worry about it. Next, we should trace the remote instance and take any proper action to resolve TNS-01194.
