Using Oracle Net Configuration Assistant

In Custom Oracle Database Client installations, if you select Oracle Net Listener, then Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) starts Oracle Net Configuration Assistant.

Oracle recommends that you have information ready about the host name of the computer where the Oracle database is installed.

Perform the following steps to configure the listener and naming methods using Oracle Net Configuration Assistant:

  1. In the Welcome screen, click Next.
    You can also select Perform typical configuration for default network configuration.
  2. Respond to the configuration prompts and screens as needed. The screens vary depending on the options you select. At any time during installation, if you have a question about what you are being asked to do, click Help.
  3. You can also run Oracle Net Configuration Assistant in standalone mode after the database client installation is complete to configure the listener, naming methods, net service names, and directory server usage. To start Oracle Net Configuration Assistant in standalone mode run netca from the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.
