Re: OAS 4 doesn't install SQLNet--how create DAD?

What I found installing OAS 3.0.1.0.0 was..

I created a DB alias using the SQL Net Easy Configuration Mnager..

Then I made sure I could TNSPING the DB Instance..

Then I put the name of the Alias as the name of the "Connect String" box on the DAD configuration panel along w/ the DBA_User/Password..

If you do that, you will be able to successfully submit to create the default DAD's..

Hope this helps..
