Oracle Net8 Assistant HELP





Oracle Net8 Assistant HELP Contents The Oracle Net8 Assistant is a tool to help you to configure and manage your Oracle networking environment with Net8. The following Net8 features and components are available to configure and/or manage using Oracle Net8 Assistant: Profile A profile is a collection of parameters that allow a client or server to specify preferences for the use of certain Net8 features. Click on the Profile icon to configure a profile for either a client or server. For more information, click on "Using a Profile". Service Names Service Names are simple, easy to remember names commonly used to specify the identity and location of database services on a network. In order to connect to a specific database or other service, users will specify their username/password and the service name of the service they wish to connect during any standard logon process. If you do not plan to use either Oracle Names or an external naming service, you may configure service names and addresses locally with each client. Double-click on the Service Names folder to configure service names locally. For more information, click on "Using Service Names". Listeners Net8 coordinates its sessions with a service with the help of a network listener. Alistener is a process that is setup specifically to receive and respond to client connection requests for a database instance. Double-click on the Listeners folder to display and configure existing listeners on the network, or to add a new listener. For more information, click on "Using Listeners". Oracle Names Servers Oracle Names Servers provide a distributed naming service that helps to simplify the set up and administration of your Oracle network. If you are using Oracle Names, double-click on the Oracle Names Servers folder to configure, manage and operate Names Servers. For more information, click on "Using Oracle Names Servers".
