Oracle Service Names are also called Database Aliases. They're in the tnsnames.ora 
file. (CF 4.5.2, Solaris 8, Oracle 8i)

Here's a typical example. PONE6.WORLD is what you'd enter as a host string when 
configuring CF to talk to Oracle. If sqlnet.ora has "names.default_domain = world" 
then you can leave off the .WORLD (in this example), I think.

PONE6.WORLD = 
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA = 
      (SID = PONE6)
    )
  )

More info "Connecting to Oracle 7.3/8.0 Databases" in the Administering CF 
documentation.
