Exporting Oracle Names Entries to Directory Server

Oracle Names is no longer supported in this release. Using an 9.2 release of Oracle Names, you must export database and alias objects stored in an Oracle Names server to a directory server or indirectly to an LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) file, which can then be used to load the directory server. When exporting the database objects, only the address record (A.SMD) is exported. The address record contains the connect descriptor information for the database object. Database objects are exported as net service names. Aliases are exported as net service aliases. Data is exported from a specified domain.

For more information, see Chapter 8, Configuring Naming Methods, in the Oracle10i Net Administrator's Guide.

For complete instruction for exporting data from an Oracle Names server, see Oracle9i Net Services Administrator's Guide from release 9.2.

external procedures

A PL/SQL procedure executing on an Oracle server can call an external procedure or function that is written in the C programming language and stored in a shared library. In order for the Oracle database to connect to external procedures, the server must be configured with a net service name and the listener must be configured with protocol address and service information.

General Parameters: General

The General tab enables you to configure general parameters for the listener.

Listener Name

Displays the name of the listener.

Startup Wait Time

Specify the time, in seconds, for the listener to wait before responding to a Listener Control utility START command.

Note: This setting is deprecated and will be desupported in a future release. If you require this parameter to run the listener, please notify Oracle Support Services.

General: Routing

The Routing tab enables you to direct connection requests from this computer to a specific process at all times.

Always Use Dedicated Server

Choose to force the listener to spawn a dedicated server for all network sessions from this client. It does this by adding (SERVER=dedicated) to the CONNECT_DATA portion of connect descriptors. Connections from this client use dedicated servers, even if shared server is configured.

Using this option makes connections faster, but makes the server slower. Oracle Corporation recommends using this option if you are making massive database transactions with very little idle time.

Note: This option, if enabled, overrides the Connect Type option in the Service Identification property sheet.

Prefer Connection Manager Routing

Choose to send the client to an Oracle Connection Manager whenever possible. If no Oracle Connection Manager addresses are available, then connections are routed through any available listener address.

global database name

The full name of the database which uniquely identifies it from any other database. The global database name is of the form "database_name.database_domain", for example, sales.us.example.com.

The database name portion, sales, is a simple name you wish to call your database. The database domain portion, us.example.com, specifies the database domain in which the database is located, making the global database name unique. When possible, Oracle recommends that your database domain mirror the network domain.

The global database name is the default service name of the database, as specified by the SERVICE_NAMES parameter in the initialization parameter file.

host naming

A naming method that enables users to connect to an Oracle database server by using a host name alias in a TCP/IP environment. Host names are mapped to the server's global database name in an existing names resolution service, such as Domain Name System (DNS), Network Information Service (NIS), or a centrally-maintained set of /etc/hosts files.

For information about configuring the host naming method, see Chapter 8, Configuring Naming Methods, in the Oracle10i Net Services Administrator's Guide.
