Configuring a Connect Descriptor for Heterogeneous Services
Heterogeneous Services enable you to access a non-Oracle systems from the Oracle server. To initiate a connection to a non-Oracle system, the Oracle server starts an agent process through the listener on the gateway. In order for the Oracle database to connect to a non-Oracle system, configure the server with a net service name.
To configure the server for Heterogeneous Services:
-
Ensure the listener is configured for Heterogeneous Services, as described in Configure Heterogeneous Services for the Listener.
-
Create a net service name in the tnsnames.ora file that can be used for connections from the Oracle database server to a non-Oracle system. Ensure the connect descriptor information matches the information configured for the listener.
-
Select the net service name in the Local > Service Naming folder.
-
In the right pane's Service Identification box, choose Advanced. The Advanced Service Options dialog box appears.
-
Choose Use for Heterogeneous Services, and then choose OK.
-
In the right pane, choose Apply.
- Choose File > Save Network Configuration.
