Specify Naming Methods
Clients use a simple name, called a connect identifier, in their connect strings. A connect identifier can be net service name or the actual name of the service. For example, sales is the connect identifier in the following connect string:
CONNECT scott/tiger@sales
During a connection request, the client contacts a naming method to resolve sales to a connect descriptor, which contains the network location and identification of the service. The client request then forwards the request to the listener address specified in the connect descriptor.
The client must be configured with the naming methods to use in order to look up connect identifiers. This information is stored in the sqlnet.ora file.
