Configuring a DTC with OAS

Hi,

    I'm trying to configure a Distributed Transaction Coordinator in the OAS 4.0.8. I created a separate database (Oracle 8i) for use by the DTC that I called "dtc". Then, in the OAS Manager, I try to add the DTC. Here are the parameters I used for the creation:

DTC Name: MyDtc
Oracle SID: dtc
Host Name: <the OAS hostname>
ORACLE_HOME: c:\oracle\ora81 (Which is the path where I installed Oracle 8i) Connect String: dtc.sisca.com (I added an entry for this in the Oracle 8i TNSNAMES.ORA and in the OAS TNSNAMES.ORA) DBA Username: system
DBA Password: <the dba's password>
SYSOPER(internal) Password: <the Internal password> Transactional DADs: <The transaction DAD I created is shown here> Parameter File: c:\oracle\admin\dtc\pfile\init.ora (Which is the full path to the init<sid>.ora file for the dtc database)

Finally, I click the Apply button and I get the following error message:

OWS-29040: Can't configure the DTC dtc4cits, error code ORA-12203. Please refer to oracle error messages for details.

I can connect to the dtc database from SQL*Plus and I can create a DAD for this database.

Anyone can help me? What am I doing wrong?

The OAS and Oracle 8i (8.1.5) are installed on the same machine which is running Windows NT.

Thanks a lot for your help.
