Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> tnsnames.ora - Windows client uses "SID.WORLD = " but Unix uses "SID = "
Why do I need ".WORLD" in Windows tnsnames.ora but not in Unix
tnsnames.ora?
The tnsnames.ora on Windows needs to have .WORLD appended onto the SID
DBP1.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= 10.1.140.205)(Port = 1522))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = DBP1))
)
The tnsnames.ora on Unix does not need .WORLD
DBP1 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= 10.1.140.205)(Port = 1522))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = DBP1))
)
