You might have multiple instances, and multiple databases
within these instances, on a server system. You might want to hide
some of these from the Discovery process.
Procedure
- To allow clients to discover server instances on a system,
set the discover_inst database manager configuration
parameter in each server instance on the system to ENABLE (this
is the default value).
Set this parameter to DISABLE to
hide this instance and its databases from Discovery.
- To allow a database to be discovered from a client, set
the discover_db database configuration parameter
to ENABLE (this is the default value).
Set
this parameter to DISABLE to hide the database from
Discovery.
Note: If you want an instance to be discovered, discover must
also be set to KNOWN or SEARCH in
the DAS configuration file.
Note: If you want a database to
be discovered, the discover_inst parameter must
also be enabled in the server instance.
