Net8 Assistant
The Net8 Assistant is a graphical user interface tool that combines
configuration abilities with component control to provide an
integrated environment for configuring and managing Net8. It can be
used on either the client or server.
You can use the Net8 Assistant to configure the following network components:
- Naming--Define simple names, connect identifiers, and map them to
connect descriptors to identify the network location and
identification of a service. The Net8 Assistant supports
configuration of connect descriptors in local tnsnames.ora files,
centralized LDAP-compliant directory service, or an Oracle Names server.
- Naming Methods--Configure the different ways in which connect
identifiers are resolved into connect descriptors.
- Listeners--Create and configure listeners to receive client connections.
If an Oracle Names server is configured, you start, stop, tune, or
gather statistics for it with the Net8 Assistant.
To start the Net8 Assistant:
- On UNIX, run netasst at $ORACLE_HOME/bin.
- On Windows NT, choose Start
> Programs > Oracle
- HOME_NAME
> Network Administration
> Net8 Assistant.
