Naming Methods configuration

When an end user connects to a database service, a connect string that identifies the service through a simple name, called a connect identifier, is used. A connect identifier can be the actual name of the service or a net service name. The connect identifier is resolved to a connect descriptor, which contains the network location and identification of the service, by a naming method. You can configure this computer to resolve connect identifiers using any of the following methods:

Additionally, if the local naming method is selected on the client, you are prompted to configure connect descriptors in a client-side tnsnames.ora file.
