Hello,
Is someone experienced working with Oracle Names Server or can someone explain me how to set up an Oracle Names Server?
I'm working with Oracle 8.0.5 on a Windows NT 4.0 platform. Most clients work with Windows NT 4.0, some with Windows 98.
I want to work with two Servers (one as backup server). I've installed Net8Client on the clients and Net8Server on the servers. All clients work with TCP/IP.
The production databases are located on different servers on different locations.
The current Network Configuration Model has a localized management. The Network Addresses are mapped in a TNSNAMES.ORA file on each client.
I've already tried the steps explained in Chapter 6 of Configuring the Network, but I think I did something wrong. No client can find a Names Server. I've tried to locate the Names Servers with the Net8 Assistant.
Thanks for help
