Service Attributes

This property sheet enables you to view or modify the network information for a selected net service name or database service.

Service Identification

Use the Service Identification box to view or modify CONNECT_DATA information.

     

    Service Name

    Enter a service name if configuring this client to connect to an Oracle9i or Oracle8i database service.
    Note:
    For a database service stored in a directory server, this field only displays the current value. Modifications are not permitted.

    SID
     

    Enter an Oracle System Identifier (SID) if configuring this client to connect to an Oracle8 or Oracle7 database.

    Connect Type

    From the list, select if you want this net service name to use a dedicated server, shared server, or whatever the database has been configured with.
    If shared server is configured in the initialization parameter file, then select Dedicated Server to force the listener to start a dedicated server to bypass shared server configuration.
    If shared server is configured in the initialization parameter file and you want to guarantee that this connection always uses a shared server, then select Shared Server.

    Use Oracle8 Release 8.0 Compatible Identification

    Select this option if you are configuring a client to connect to a pre-release Oracle8i database service.
    Clear this option if you are configuring for an Oracle9i or Oracle8i database service.

    Advanced

    Choose to configure advanced CONNECT_DATA parameters.

Address Configuration

Use the Address box to modify, add, or delete a listener protocol address.

If an address is already configured, then its protocol information displays in the fields.

     

    Protocol

    From the list, select the protocol for the listener address. Depending on the protocol chosen, enter information in the fields as appropriate.

    + button

    Choose to create a new protocol address. A new Address tab displays from which you can select the protocol and enter protocol information in the fields. The chosen protocol must be installed on both the client and server (where the listener resides).

    X button

    Choose to remove the selected Address tab and its address information.

    < button

    Choose to move the protocol address up in the list order.

    > button

    Choose to move the protocol address down in the list order.

    Advanced button

    Choose to configure multiple addresses options, such as source routing, connect-time failover, and client load balancing.
