Net Service Name Configuration, Service Name

Enter the name that identifies the database service. The character length can be no longer than nine (9) characters.

The service name is typically the global database name, which is a combination of the database name (DB_NAME) and domain (DB_DOMAIN). An example service is sales.us.acme.com, where sales is the database name and us.acme.com is the domain.

The database service is defined during database creation. If you are not sure what the service is, ask your Database Administrator.
