oraNamesTNSTable

The oraTNSTable contains variables which could be common to all applications running on SQL*Net. SQL*Net is Oracle's remote data access software that enables both client/server and server/server communications across any network. Monitoring these variables is useful in order to obtain basic (mostly static) information about the Oracle Names application.

Each entry in the oraNamesTNSTable represents a given active SQL*Net application located on the managed node. (In this case, that application is Oracle Names.) Each entry is indexed by applIndex. (For details about applIndex, see Appendix E, "Interpreting Implemented Variables of the Network Services MIB.") The current value of each oraNamesTNSTable variable is retrieved from an internal table or from a corresponding field in the NAMES.ORA configuration file on the managed node.

Table D - 1 lists each of these variables and its corresponding object ID.

Table D - 1. oraNamesTNSTable Variables and Corresponding Object IDs

A description of each of these variables follows.

oraNamesTNSTraceLevel

Syntax Integer32
Max-Access read-write
Explanation Indicates the amount and granularity (if any) of trace messages the server writes to its trace file. The higher the number, the more verbose the tracing information. Enumerated levels include 4 (user) and 6 (admin) or 17 (off). The value of this variable is retrieved from the NAMES.TRACE_LEVEL field of the NAMES.ORA file.
Typical Range enumerated 1 - 17
Significance less important
Related Variables oraNamesTNSParameterFile, oraNamesTNSTraceFile
Suggested Presentation simple string

oraNamesTNSParameterFile

Syntax DisplayString
Max-Access read-write
Explanation Indicates the name of the startup file containing all site-specific configuration/tuning settings for this server.
Typical Range any legal filename
Significance less important
Related Variables oraNamesTNSListenAddresses, oraNamesTNSLogFile, oraNamesTNSTraceFile, onsrTNSTraceLevel
Suggested Presentation simple string

oraNamesTNSLogFile

Syntax DisplayString
Max-Access read-write
Explanation Indicates the name of the file to which this server writes log information concerning normal events, errors, and possibly periodic statistical dumps.
Typical Range any legal filename
Significance less important
Related Variables oraNamesTNSParameterFile
Suggested Presentation simple string

oraNamesTNSTraceFile

Syntax DisplayString
Max-Access read-write
Explanation Indicates the name of the file to which this server writes trace information when tracing is enabled. Such trace information includes internal details about this server's operation, for use in solving operational problems.
Typical Range any legal filename
Significance less important
Related Variables oraNamesTNSParameterFile, oraNamesTNSTraceLevel
Suggested Presentation simple string

oraNamesTNSContact

Syntax DisplayString
Max-Access read-only
Explanation Indicates the person to contact regarding the operation or administration of this server, together with information on how to contact this person.
Typical Range 0 - 255 characters
Significance less important
Related Variables oraNamesTNSState
Suggested Presentation simple string

oraNamesTNSReload

Syntax TimeTicks
Max-Access read-write
Explanation Indicates the amount of time (in centiseconds) until this server reloads. This variable can be used to automatically reload this server or show when reload will occur. Reloading enables the server to reread parameter files, network definitions, and reset statistics, for example. When set to 0, the server reloads immediately.
Typical Range 0 - 4294967296 centiseconds
Significance less important
Related Variables oraNamesConfigTable, oraNamesTNSRunningTime, oraNamesTNSState
Suggested Presentation stopwatch

oraNamesTNSRunningTime

Syntax Integer32
Max-Access read-only
Explanation Indicates the amount of time (in seconds) that the server has been running. This variable can be used as a statistical baseline for evaluating counters and running averages.
Typical Range 0 - 2147483647
Significance very important
Related Variables oraNamesServerTable variables
Suggested Presentation stopwatch
