Re: "interMedia text" setup problem

There seem to be settings in tnsnames.ora / listener.ora missing. There's a whitepaper in otn describing the setup steps (http://technet.oracle.com/files/search/search.htm?imt_815_techover.htm). You should end up with entries for listener.ora like:

LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =

        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
      )

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\Oracle\Ora81)
(PROGRAM = extproc)

    )
......

and tnsnames.ora like

.....
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)

    )
  )
.....

I would recommend using intermedia only with 8.1.6; 8.1.5 needs some patches to get intermedia really working.
