Distributing Configuration Files

On systems running Microsoft Windows 3.1, once the initial configuration has been generated through Network Manager and SQL*Net connections established, the administrator can easily distribute changes and updates to the network configuration through the included NETFETCH utility. See the Oracle Network Manager Administrator's Guide for details. Note that, non-Windows systems must distribute the configuration files manually

From the destination node, NETFETCH retrieves the appropriate network configuration from Network Manager.

Suggestion: NETFETCH can be run during Windows startup so that the destination node's configuration can be kept up to date automatically. .

The utility is intended to be used by either the DBA or network administrator, and is usually used in only one location. Choose a workstation from which it will be relatively easy to transfer files.

After you have created and distributed the configuration files, you can start and use the network.
