Before Windchill can access a remote Oracle server as an Oracle client, you must configure a net service name. Both of these tasks are performed using the Oracle Net Configuration Assistant.

The Oracle Net Configuration Assistant is normally launched automatically at the end of an Oracle installation session. In the event you need to manually start the Oracle Net Configuration Assistant, perform the procedure appropriate for your operating system from the following:

Click Start > Programs > Oracle - OraDb10g_home1 > Configuration and Migration Tools > Net Configuration Assistant

where <Oracle> is the directory location where you installed Oracle.

Perform the net services configuration procedure appropriate to an Oracle server or client, as described in the sections Installing Oracle Server Software and Installing Oracle Client Software.

For additional information about this configuration assistant, refer to the Oracle Database Installation Guide.
