Naming: Oracle Names

The Oracle Names tab allow you to configure a default domain for this client machine, as well as how this machine will use Oracle Names.

Default Domain

Enter the name of the domain from which most client request take place. It could be the domain where the client resides, or it could be a domain from which the client requests network services often.

When set, the domain name will automatically be appended to any unqualified name.

Maximum Wait Each Attempt

Enter a value between 1-600 seconds for how long a client will wait for a response from an Oracle Names server before reiterating the request to the next Oracle Names server.

Attempts per Names Server

Enter a value between 1-5 for how many times this client will try an Oracle Names server before allowing the operation to fail. The client will try each Oracle Names server once by default.

Maximum Open Connections

Enter a value between 3-64 for how many connections this client may have open at one time to an Oracle Names server. By default, this field is set to 3 open connections.

An Oracle Names server calculates the number of connections acceptable by default. You should only modify the default setting for this field if this client is an Oracle Names server.

Initial Preallocated Requests

Enter a value between 3-256 to pre-allocate an initial number of messages in this client's message pool. These messages may be used for future requests to Oracle Names servers. Oracle Names pre-allocates 10 messages by default.

You should only modify the default setting for this field if this client is an Oracle Names in an overburdened network--one that does not have enough oracle Names servers.
