perfect... thanks a lot ..i used method 2 and created a dynamic script as
below to create the dblink

SELECT
'create '||DECODE(U.NAME,'PUBLIC','public ')||'database link '||CHR(10)
||DECODE(U.NAME,'PUBLIC',Null, U.NAME||'.')|| L.NAME||chr(10)
||'connect to ' || L.USERID || ' identified by values'''
||L.PASSWORDX||''' using ''' || L.host || ''''
||chr(10)||';' TEXT
FROM  sys.link$       L,
sys.user$       U
WHERE L.OWNER# = U.USER# ;
