Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> net8 config: db_name/service_names conflict?
I am struggling with an inherited Oracle 8.1.5 (UNIX/Solaris) install which has the following strange setup: In initMYINSTANCE.ora the db_name and the service_names parameters are the same, looking something like this:
db_name = NAMESTRING
instance_name = MYINSTANCE
service_names = NAMESTRING
I can connect to the instance locally without trouble. There is also a listener running, but I cannot figure out how to configure the client on a remote machine to connect to this. I have tried seemingly all permutations of the NAMESTRING and the MYINSTANCE strings in the Service Identification/Service Name of the Net8 assistant (or directly in the tnsnames.ora file).
Questions for the experts: is it OK to have db_name = service_names? In the setup as described what should one enter to configure a client?
