Be certain that you are NOT speciying the SID for a local RDBMS connection, but rather give it the SQL*Net alias you created for the oracle 8 database, (use SQL*Net easy config if you don't know how to do it manually). If you try to do a local connect it will fail, there no longer is a two-task interface into Oracle 8 so it needs to loopback through net, (or use the bequeath adapter).

So, to summarize: create a SQL*Net v2 alias that will connect to the Oracle 8 database...and then use that alias in the DCD configuration. (I have done this - it works).
