The Command menu enables you to perform the following operations:
Directory
Performs specific actions to a directory service:
Change Current Context
| Enables you change the current Oracle Context. The Oracle Context is a subtree in the directory that
stores Oracle entries, including database services and net service names for use
with directory naming.
When a new Oracle Context is selected, objects in the navigator's Net8 Configuration > Directory > Service Naming folder display for the new Oracle Context. |
Set Authentication
| Enables you to set authentication credentials to the directory server
|
Import Net Service Names
| Imports net service names configured in a tnsnames.ora file to a directory server
|
![]() | Note: The Directory menu only displays if access to the directory has been configured. For more
information about directory access configuration and other requirements, see Directory Naming Requirements for the Net8 Assistant.
|
Test Service
Connects to a database service using connect descriptor information stored in a tnsnames.ora file or directory server. Verification of network information stored in an Oracle Names server is done differently, as described in Query Network Objects.
Discover Oracle Names Servers
Finds Oracle Names servers. When the client discovers Oracle Names servers, it tries to find one Oracle Names server. Once the client finds an Oracle Names server, it queries for all other Oracle Names server in the domain. Based on the Oracle Names servers found, a list of Oracle Names servers is then created on the client. This list is created in order of response time.
Reload All Names Servers
The Oracle Names server checks immediately for data changes in its administrative region. If there are changes, the Oracle Names server reloads all stored data.
