<h1>Prioritize Naming Methods</h1>
<p>After <a href="n8ahelpnaming_method.htm">naming methods</a> are configured, they must be prioritized in the profile. The naming method at the top of the list is used first to resolve a net service name or database service name to a connect descriptor. If it cannot resolve the name, the second method in the list is used.</p>
<p>To specify the order of naming methods:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>In the navigator pane, expand <span class="bold">Oracle Net Configuration > Local > Profile.</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>From the list in the right pane, select <span class="bold">Naming.</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Select the <a href="n8ahelpnaming_methods.htm">Methods</a> tab.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Select naming methods from the <span class="bold">Available Methods</span> list and choose the right-arrow button. The selected naming method moves to the <span class="bold">Selected Methods</span> list.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Order the naming methods according to which method you want Oracle Net to try first when resolving net service names or database service names. Select the naming method in the <span class="bold">Selected Methods</span> list, and choose <span class="bold">Promote</span> or <span class="bold">Demote</span> to move the selection up or down in the list.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Choose <span class="bold">File > Save Network Configuration.</span></p>
</li>
</ol>
