Statically Configure Database Service Information

For the listener to accept client requests to an Oracle8 or Oracle7 database, the listener.ora file must be configured with information about the database.

If the database is an Oracle8I database, static service information is not required in the listener.ora file. Service information is registered with the listener automatically through service registration. However, if you are using Oracle Enterprise Manager, static information for an Oracle8i database is required.

To configure database service information for a listener:

1. In the navigator pane, expand Net8 Configuration > Local > Listeners.

2. Select a listener.

3. From the list in the right pane, select Database Services.

4. Choose Add Database. A new Database tab appears.

5. Enter the global database name in the Global Database Name field, location of the Oracle home directory in the Oracle Home Directory field, and the Oracle System Identifier (SID) of the database in the SID field.

6. Choose File > Save Network Configuration.
