Oracle Net combines configuration abilities with component control to provide an integrated environment for configuring and managing client connections to services via a net service name. Smart Engineering Manager and other engineering products use the Oracle Net service to establish and maintain network sessions from client applications to the Oracle database server. After a network session is established, this utility acts as a data courier for the client application and the database server.
See the Oracle Net Services Administrator's Guide and the Oracle Net Services Reference Guide in your Oracle documentation for more information about using this utility and creating net service name connections. If you follow the procedures Install Oracle Database Server and Install Oracle Client, the Oracle Networking Components should be configured correctly.

For Smart Engineering Manager to access the database, you must load and configure Oracle Net Services on the database server and on each end-user workstation. If Smart Engineering Manager is installed on the database server, you must load and configure Oracle Net Services on that server, in addition to the Oracle TCP/IP Protocol Adapter.
-
If Smart Engineering Manager is installed on a workstation other than the database server, you must load the Net Services and the Oracle TCP/IP Protocol Adapter on the Smart Engineering Manager computer. You must also load the Net Services and the Oracle TCP/IP Protocol Adapter on the Oracle database server.

Net Manager is installed with the Net Services software and allows you to create a database Net Service Name, which Hexagon PPM software uses to communicate with the database.

The version of Net Services must be the same on all computers.
