HS_AUTOREGISTER

Parameter type	Boolean
Default value	true
Parameter class	Dynamic: ALTER SYSTEM
Range of values	true | false

HS_AUTOREGISTER enables or disables automatic self-registration of Heterogeneous Services (HS) agents. When enabled, information is uploaded into the server's data dictionary to describe a previously unknown agent class or a new agent version.

Oracle Corporation recommends that you set this parameter to true. Oracle incurs less overhead when establishing subsequent connections through the same agent if self-registered information is available in the server's data dictionary.
