Yes, I "inherited" this, and I am setting up Multimaster Advanced Replication, setting global_names=false isn't an option. I have suggested moving the donotfiretrigger logic into the trigger, which has some initial support. For the moment, we are changing the code to point to a link with the same name as the service name (which has obvious limitations, so hopefully a real fix will get done).
I was really hoping there might be another workaround bandaid though, as I really don't want the "fix" to end up permanent. Thanks, John P Weatherman Database Administrator Replacements Ltd. -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 11:23 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L My guess is that you "inherited" an environment where the DB-Link was setup that way [link-name different from DB-name] ..... and then, sometime later, you set GLOBAL_NAMES=TRUE Well you have no choice : "// *Action: create a database link with the same name as the database it > // connects to, or set global_names=false." Are you setting up Advanced Replication [MultiMaster] or Simple Replication [Snapshots] ? I believe that Simple Replication does not mandate GLOBAL_NAMES=TRUE.
