thanks to both of you . . . will change SQLNET params

Dick - are you saying that Names v8i doesn't create the global db links any more?

Just a couple of notes w/ names I just learned of when our primary Oracle names server failed. Change the default failover time using these parameters in your sqlnet.ora.

NAMES.INITIAL_RETRY_TIMEOUT = 5 # Wait # Seconds before going to next nameserver, def=15

NAMES.REQUEST_RETRIES = 2 # Number of retries for nameserver, def=5

hth,
Gene

PS. 75 seconds sure appears to be a long time to fail, esp. when the help desk keeps calling :).

    With Onames you don't need the TNSnames.ora file anymore. It does resolution of database service names automatically no matter if it's a database
or client doing the lookup. Now previous versions of ONames did a very nice job
of allowing you to create global database links, but version 8.1 messed that up
REAL bad.

Has anyone had success gettin db links to resolve service names using Oracle Names? seem to recall reading something that required the local TNS entry for db links to successfully resolve, but also read that Names automatically creates a global db link for every service name registered with it.
