Oracle Net Configuration Assistant

Due to the complexity of the configuration files, Oracle Corporation recommends that customers do not build or edit the files manually. Oracle Corporation supplies a product called Oracle Net Configuration Assistant, which allows you to enter information about the functions of various nodes on your network and then builds the configuration files for each of those nodes and a generic set of files for all possible client nodes. On Windows, the files it generates must be copied to the appropriate nodes manually (usually using ftp).
