Additional Service Settings

Instance Name

Enter a database instance to access. The instance name should only be specified if you want to access a specific instance. The instance name can be obtained from the INSTANCE_NAME parameter in the initialization file.
Note: This field is not enabled if Use Oracle8i Release 8.0 Compatible Identification option is checked.
Session Data Unit (SDU)
Enter the session data unit size to change the performance characteristics having to do with the packets sent across the network. The SDU size should be set as a multiple of the normal transport frame size. Since the normal Ethernet frame size is 1500, the most efficient SDU size over Ethernet should be a multiple of 1500.
