Configure a Connect Descriptor for Connections to Oracle Connection Manager
Client configuration for Oracle Connection Manager features requires you configure a net service name with two network routes and source routing turned on.
The first network route specifies a protocol address for the Oracle Connection Manager; the second network route specifies a
protocol address for the listener. Source routing specifies that both network routes
be used. During a connection, the client connects first to the Oracle
Connection Manager. The Oracle Connection then forwards the request to the listener.
To configure a client for Oracle Connection Manager:
- Create a net service name, as described in Create a Net Service Name and configure the protocol address for the Oracle Connection Manager. Take note of the following when using the
Net Service Name Wizard:
- If enabling Net8 access control, ensure TCP/IP is the selected protocol.
- If using TCP/IP, use port 1630.
- In the right pane's Address Configuration box, click "+". A new Address tab appears.
- Select the protocol and enter the appropriate listener protocol address information. If you are using TCP/IP, the default port is 1521.
- In the Address Configuration box, click Advanced. The Address List Options dialog box appears.
- Select Use each address in order until destination reached, then click OK.
- In the right pane, click Apply.
