Clive, during the upgrade has the global_names parameter somehow been changed from false to true? This would cause the connection to be refused if the link name does not match the global_name for the target database. Cheers, Mike Hately
-----Original Message----- On Behalf Of Hybart, Clive Sent: 10 December 2003 10:39 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Since upgrading our mainframe database to 9.2.0.1.0.25 a dblink between a Unix box (8.1.7.0) and the mainframe fails. However sqlplus using the same connection syntax "Connect username/[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is fine.
