-
- SQL*Net requires two files to be set up correctly before it will work:
-
- hosts
- services
-
- The hosts file should contain a list of the system names & IP addresses:
-
- IP ADDRESS HOSTNAME ALIAS
- 128.155.001.001 XYZSYSTEM XYZ
- 128.155.001.002 ABCSYSTEM ABC
-
- The services file must contain the following:
-
- ORASRV 1525/TCP
-
- NOTE: the TCP assumes you are using TCP/IP protocol.
