Prioritize Naming Methods
After naming methods are configured, they must be prioritized in the profile. The naming method at
the top of the list is used first to resolve a net service name or database
service name to a connect descriptor. If it cannot resolve the name, the second
method in the list is used.
To specify the order of naming methods:
- In the navigator pane, expand Net8 Configuration > Local > Profile.
- From the list in the right pane, select Naming.
- Click the Methods tab.
- Select naming methods from the Available Methods list and click the right-arrow button. The selected naming method moves to
the Selected Methods list.
- Order the naming methods according to which method you want Net8 to try first
when resolving net service names or database service names. Select the naming
method in the Selected Methods list, and click Promote or Demote to move the selection up or down in the list.
- Choose File > Save Network Configuration.
