D – 7 Configuration Parameters and the Windows NT Registry
Networking Parameters
The following parameter applies to the SQL*Net V1 for Windows NT
products used on your Oracle7 Server for Windows NT machine.
Note: None of the configuration parameters stored in the NT
Registry are associated with SQL*Net V2.
LOCAL
Operating System: Windows NT
Default: 2:
Legal Values: any valid SQL*Net driver prefix,
including database string parame-
ters
This parameter specifies the SQL*Net driver and complete connect
string to use when no communications driver is specified upon loading
an Oracle tool. The parameter enables the DBA to define a default
network connection. When a user logs on without specifying any
network parameters, Oracle7 uses the LOCAL connection.
The default, 2:, connects the user to the instance designated by the
ORACLE_SID parameter on the local machine. If multiple instances are
running on the local machine, follow the colon with the SID—e.g.,
2:ORCL” connects the user to the ORCL instance on the local machine.
Note: You can reset this parameter on the command line at any
time.
NMP_MAX_CLIENTS
Operating System: Windows NT
SQL*Net: Version 1.1 of SQL*Net Named
Pipes
Default : 10
Legal Values: 1 to maximum number of sessions
allowed by the requester
NMP_MAX_CLIENTS sets the maximum number of shadow and
listener threads allowed on the server.
Note: Setting this parameter to zero causes the parameter to
take its default value.
