How to find Globle Database Name or DB_NAME or DB_DOMAIN?

124363Mar 4 2002

I am going to install 8i on a unix box. Currently, we have 7.3.4 running. By reading the installation guide, it seems need Globle Database Name (in DB_NAME.DB_DOMAIN format). However, I can not find the current 7.3.4 version of neither db_name nor db_domain (not in init.ora file or initSID.ora).

Questions:
1. How can I find the currrent version's db_name, db_domain ?
2. Is the Globle Database Name required for the 8i installation? Can I leave it in blank?

Thanks.
