On Windows NT, 95 or 98:

In the Registry (regedit.exe), add a string value under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ ORACLE, called LOCAL. Set this equal to your TNSNAMES.ORA-defined connect string.

In Unix, set the environment variable TWO_TASK equal to the connect string.

$ TWO_TASK=dbstring ; export TWO_TASK
% setenv TWO_TASK dbstring

In Windows 3.1x (or if using 16-bit software on 32-bit Windows), add a line like the following to your ORACLE.INI file (located in C:\ORAWIN, or in earlier versions C:\WINDOWS or wherever pointed to by the ORA_CONFIG entry (??) in WIN.INI.

LOCAL=dbstring
