Service Attributes

This property sheet enables to 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 a release 8.1 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 a pre-release 8.1 database.
Connect Type | From the list, select if you want this net service name to use a dedicated server, shared server (multi-threaded server (MTS), or whatever the database has been configured with. If MTS is configured in the initialization parameter file, then select Dedicated Server to force the listener to spawn a dedicated server to bypass MTS configuration.
If MTS is configured in the initialization parameter file and you want to guarantee that this connection always uses MTS, then select Shared Server.
Use Oracle8i Release 8.0 Compatible Identification | Select this option if you are configuring a client to connect to a pre-release 8.1 database service. Clear this option if you are configuring for a release 8.1 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.
