Create a Global Database Link
Oracle Corporation recommends creating one global database link per database. A global database link that is the global database name is automatically registered with the Oracle Names server. Therefore, you do
not need to register this information unless you want to enter user name and
password credentials for it.
To register a global database link:
- In the navigator pane, expand Net8 Configuration > Oracle Names Servers.
- Select the Oracle Names server.
- From the list in the right pane, select Manage Data.
- Click the Links tab.
- Click Add.
- Enter the global database link name in the DB Link Name field. If the
GLOBAL_NAMES parameter has been set to TRUE in the initialization file, the name entered must be the global database name.
- If you want to use a link qualifier, see Append a Link Qualifier for a Global Database Link.
- Enter valid user name and password credentials for the database in the User and Password fields.
- Click Execute.
- Choose File > Save Network Configuration.
