Oracle Net Configuration Assistant allows you to configure basic elements of the network, including naming methods, listeners, and directory service access.
Define simple names to identify the location of a service, such as a database. These simple names, called connect identifiers, can be a net service name or the actual name of the service. A connect identifier maps to a connect descriptor, which contains the network location and identification of the service.
Use Oracle Net Configuration Assistant to configure connect descriptors in a client-side tnsnames.ora file.
With Oracle Net Configuration Assistant, you can configure different ways in which connect identifiers are resolved into connect descriptors through naming methods. You can use the Oracle Net Configuration Assistant to specify usage of the following naming methods:
Configure the listener to receive client connections by setting one or more listening protocol addresses. Clients using connect descriptors configured with the same protocol addresses can send a connection request to the listener.
Complete directory usage for a directory server.
