Use this page to create and configure a net service name, and also to rename the Net Service Name.
The following table lists the fields and sections on this page to which you should pay close attention:
| Page Element | Description | More Information |
|---|---|---|
| Service Name or System Identifier (SID) | The service name is defined during database creation. If you are unsure what the service name is, ask the Database Administrator who created the database. | |
| Shared or Dedicated Server Database. | Specify whether you want a shared or dedicated server database. | For information on using shared or dedicated server connections, see the chapter "Architecture of Oracle Net Services" in the Oracle Net Services Administrator's Guide. |
| Address Protocol | Add at least one address protocol to be used for connections to the service. | Adding Net Service Name Addresses |
| Connect-time Failover and Client Load Balancing | Select an option for Connect-time Failover and Client Load Balancing. Connect-time failover enables clients to connect to another listener if the initial connection to the first listener fails. The number of listener protocol addresses determines how many listeners are tried. Without connect-time failover, Oracle Net attempts a connection with only one listener. |
