Rick,

I do this all the time.  What I do is to create a local package that simply
calls the remote package.  This insulates the local application from any
changes (especially to the db link name).  You could also program in a way
to not call the package if db link goes bad for some reason.

below is an example of a remote function call wrapped into a local function.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION WTWDBA.Iwrt_Wtw_Getmin_Hours_F(
               in_cin_id         IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
               in_case_number_id IN VARCHAR2,
               in_district_cd    IN VARCHAR2,
               in_suffix_id      IN VARCHAR2,
                   in_folder_id      IN WTW_FOLDER.FOLDER_ID%TYPE DEFAULT
NULL)
     RETURN VARCHAR2 IS

     loc_func_result VARCHAR2(10);

BEGIN

   loc_func_result := [EMAIL PROTECTED](
                                       in_cin_id,
                                       in_case_number_id,
                                       in_district_cd,
                                       in_suffix_id);
   return loc_func_result;
end;


Hope this helps.

Hi DBAs,

I have a package(mail_pkg) in instance SID1. Can I run the package from
instance SID2? If so how do I proceed?
Is it just a matter of creating a db_link. ex. exec mail_pkg.send_mail
(....)@dblink_name.

Thanks
Rick
