Hi, http://docs.oracle.com/cd/A57673_01/DOC/net/doc/NWUS233/apb.htm says that
Service Name Character Set The listener name, service name, and Interchange names used in TNS configuration files are limited to the following character set: [a...z] [A...Z] [0...9] _ The first character in a service name must be an alphabetic character. The number of characters allowed is platform specific; in general, however, up to 64 characters is acceptable. A database service name must match the global database name defined by the DBA. It consists of a database name (originally limited to eight characters), and the database domains. Service names and global database names are not case sensitive. Note: Network Manager uses periods (.) when it appends domains to the names you enter, but it does not accept periods in the name you provide. So I guess "TESTDB.COM.AU" should be changed to "TESTDB_COM.AU" or something else with ONLY 1 "."-char in order to work with ArcSDE direct connect String which uses TNS name resolving... You can verify with tnsping of sqlplus if your TNS is valid. cheers Rudi -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/I-need-help-with-an-ArcSDE-direct-Connect-in-Geoserver-2-4-0-tp5080836p5080890.html Sent from the GeoServer - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
