Use the CREATE_SERVICE subprogram to create the biedg.mycompany.com database service. Log onto SQLPlus as the SYSDBA user and run the following
command:
SQL EXECUTE DBMS_SERVICE.CREATE_SERVICE SERVICE_NAME = biedg.mycompany.com, NETWORK_NAME = biedg.mycompany.com;
2.
Add the service to the database and assign it to the instances using srvctl: prompt srvctl add service -d custdb -s biedg -r custdb1,custdb2
3.
Start the service using srvctl: prompt srvctl start service -d custdb -s biedg
Oracle recommends that a specific database service be used for a product suite even when they share the same database. It is also recommended that the database service
used is different than the default database service. In this case, the database is custdb.mycompany.com and the default service is one with the same name. The Oracle
Business Intelligence installer is configured to use the service biedg.mycompany.com.
