Net Service Name

Synopsis

                     net_service_name.domain =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION...)
    [(DESCRIPTION...)
    ...]
  )

net_service_name.domain =
  (DESCRIPTION...)

This is the basic format of a net service name entry. You can either use one description, or a description list composed of one or more descriptions. Net8 Assistant only supports the second syntax—with one description.

Parameters

net_service_name

The name you want to use to tell Net8 to make the connection described here.

domain

The Net8 domain for this service name. You may want this to match your default domain. See the description for NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN in the sqlnet.ora file.

DESCRIPTION_LIST

A list of one or more descriptions. Note that when a description list is used, client load balancing is on by default. See Chapter 8 for details on that feature.

DESCRIPTION

A description consisting of an address or address list, and some connection data. See the definition of DESCRIPTION in this appendix.
