TWO_TASK is a way to set a default connect string for subsequent net8 connections. For example the following are equivalent:

sqlplus user/password@mydb

-and-
TWO_TASK=mydb
export TWO_TASK
sqlplus user/password

Where do you set it? Depends on what you want to use it for. If you want all connections for your login session to go to a specific database, set int in your .profile script. If you're writing a shell script that repeatedly connects to the same remote database, you could set it in the top of the script and then not have to specify an @connect-string each time you run sqlplus.
