Configure the database connection

To configure the Oracle client on the InForm Application Server, the Cognos Report Server, and the Cognos Content Manager Server to connect with the database server:

• Update the tnsnames.ora file located on the application server so that it contains the alias that is used to establish a connection to the database server.

Note: When installing the InForm software, you enter the alias specified in the tnsnames.ora file as the database connect string.
