Create an Oracle Names Server

You should only create an Oracle Names server on this node if Oracle Names was installed and you want this node to be the Oracle Names server for the entire administrative region. This is not a function for client or Oracle database server machines.

How an Oracle Names server is created depends upon whether you want data:

To create an Oracle Names server:

  1. In the navigator pane, expand Net8 Configuration > Oracle Names Servers.

  2. Click "+" from the toolbar, or choose Edit > Create. The Names Wizard starts. The wizard guides you through the creation and configuration process.

    The creation process creates a names.ora file with information about the Oracle Names server.
