While setting up Heterogeneous Services (Generic Connectivity) the listener requires a program name.

In listener.ora in the SID_LIST_LISTENER = list, I added

(SID_DESC=
(SID_NAME=SQL_SERVER)
(ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6)
(PROGRAM=)

)

Though I cannot figure out what goes in the PROGRAM field. The documentation says that any program specified must be in $ORACLE_HOME/bin (or, from what I understand, in the directory specified in the ORACLE_HOME parameter). The examples in the documentation use "tg4mb80". I cannot find that on my system. Someone sent me a sample file, and it specifies "hsodbc" which also does not exist. I presume that is just the standard sample name. Though it does seem silly that the program is given as an example rather than the actual program.

Does anyone know what program should be specified?
