directory naming
A naming method that resolves a database service or net service name to a connect descriptor, stored in a central directory server.
A directory provides central administration of database services and net service names, reducing the work effort associated with adding or relocating services. Although net service names can be configured to alias a service, the directory can refer to a database service directly without using a net service name. The database service is automatically added as an entry to the directory during installation.
