Enabling a Connect String

This procedure describes how to enable a connect string with Oracle.

To enable a connect string

  1. Verify that the connect strings are defined in the Oracle tnsnames.ora file and that the appropriate entries are made in the Oracle listener.ora and init.ora files.
  2. Edit the Lawson ORACLE database driver configuration file with a text editor and add the required environment variables. This file is located in the $LAWDIR/ dataarea /ORACLE directory.
    Note: Lawson recommends opening the driver configuration file with a text editor other than Notepad, as it may place unprintable characters in the configuration file.

    The applicable parameters are CONNECT_STRING_BATCH, CONNECT_STRING_ONLINE, and CONNECT_STRING_XX (where XX indicates a system code). Parameters that Configure Oracle Connect Strings
