Create Network Route Information for a Database Service

A database service stored in a directory server may not contain any network route information. Client requests to database services are sent to a listener. The listener than connects the client to the database service. A network route that includes the location of the listener through a protocol address must be included in the connect descriptor. Otherwise, the client has no way of locating the listener.

To create network route information for a database service:

1. In the navigator pane, expand Net8 Configuration > Directory > Service Naming.

2. Select the database service. The right pane displays the current destination service name.

3. In the Address Configuration box, choose plus (+). A new Address tab appears.

4. Select a protocol and enter the appropriate protocol parameter information for the selected protocol.

5. In the right pane, choose Apply.
