Create/Edit Other Service Page

Use this page to configure the parameters for connections to non-Oracle database services, such as external procedures, Oracle heterogeneous services, and Oracle Rdb database services.

For more information, see the chapter "Enabling Advanced Features of Oracle Net Services" in the Oracle Net Services Administrator's Guide.

The following table lists some of the fields to which you should pay close attention:

Field
Description
Program Name
You can configure the listener to listen to external procedure calls. Use this field to specify the name of the external procedure agent executable. For example, extproc.exe.

On Windows, the executable must reside in the ORACLE_HOME\bin directory.

Service Name
Use this field to identify the database service. Enter the service name, and domain name of the service.
Oracle Home Directory

When an application calls an external procedure, the listener starts an external procedure agent named extproc. Use this field to specify the Oracle home location of the agent.

Oracle System Identifier (SID)
Use this field to specify the Oracle System Identifier (SID) of the instance. You can obtain the SID value from the INSTANCE_NAME parameter in the initialization parameter file.
Program Argument Zero
Enter the internal first argument, which is often used as an alternative program name. For example: argv0
Program Arguments
Enter the command line arguments that should be passed when starting the service. For example,-mode=5.

After you enter valid values in the required fields, use the Environment Variables section of the page to add any environment variables that should be set prior to starting the service.
