Welcome to the Net8 Configuration Assistant in the Typical or Minimal installation modes. The Net8 Configuration Assistant configures the following:
The computer's network domain will automatically be selected as the default domain. The domain will be appended to any unqualified net service name given in the connect string then compared to net service names stored in a tnsnames.ora file or Oracle Names server. For example, if the client tnsnames.ora file contains a net service name of sales.us.acme.com, the user can enter the followng connect string:
CONNECT scott/tiger@sales
sales gets searched as sales.us.acme.com.
One net service name will automatically be established for connections to external procedures.
The Net8 Configuration Assistant will prompt you to configure a net service name for a client connection to the database.
You are prompted to configure access to a directory server.
One address will use TCP/IP on port 1521 and the other will use IPC for client connections to the Oracle database.
