Before you configure the data source, you must configure Net8 database
services so there is an entry for each TNS Service Name. To do this, start the Oracle
Net8 Assistant by one of the following methods:
Click on the Oracle for Windows NT program group and click on the Oracle Net8
Assistant icon.
Or:
From the start menu, select Programs, select Oracle for Windows NT, and select the Oracle Net8
Assistant.
Using the Oracle Net8 Assistant, you can create an entry in the tnsnames.ora
file for each TNS Service Name. The Oracle Net8 Assistant is installed when you
install Net8.
Using the Oracle Net8 Assistant, you can create, modify, or delete a TNS
Service Name or its associated network protocol information, and view configuration
information. For example, to create a TNS Service Name, double click on the TNS
Service Names folder in the left hand side screen, then click on the +
(Create) icon on the tool bar and follow the instructions provided in the Oracle
Service Names Wizard. Click on the Oracle Net8 Assistant help button for more
information. To update configuration information for an existing service name, open
the TNS Service Names folder, double click on the service name to display its
current configuration information in the right hand side panel, edit the
applicable parameters, and save your changes. Once you have created or updated the
configuration information, Net8 is configured and you are ready to configure each data source.
