Configure Heterogeneous Services for the Listener
Heterogeneous services allow you to access a non-Oracle systems from the
Oracle8i server. To initiate a connection to a non-Oracle system, the Oracle8i server starts an agent process through the listener on the gateway.
Configuration of a heterogeneous service for the listener involves creating service
information for the heterogeneous agent.
To configure a heterogeneous service for the listener:
- In the navigator pane, expand Net8 Configuration > Local > Listeners.
- Select a listener.
- From the list in the right pane, select Other Services.
- Click Add Service. A new Service tab appears.
- Enter the agent executable in the Program Name field, the agent's Oracle System Identifier (SID) in the SID field, and the executable Oracle home in the Oracle Home Directory field.
- Ensure the server is configured with a connect descriptor to access the
heterogeneous service, as described in Configure a Connect Descriptor for External Procedures.
- Choose File > Save Network Configuration.
