Re: Net8 Easy Config Error Message: No hostname or object found

Hi,
Your connect string is incorrect. It should be sid.hostname, in your case jim.linux.jdtechnologies.com
Currently, because of the underscore, the tcp/ip hostname is truncated. As the listener is using DNS to resolve the hostname, it won't find it.

Good luck,

Sybrand Bakker, Oracle DBA
