I wasn't aware of the requirement that this has to be true. I am  running
streams or testing it with it false but with the db links matching the
target database's global name. I cannot set global_names to true as there
are other links in the database that do not conform.

If the duty manager stated that, then I would ask for a metalink or Oracle
Documentation reference that states that (I would be interested in your
discovery as well). BTW, in my case the set up works just fine, which I
guess is not the point of this email.

Subject: GLOBAL_NAMES parameter for streams

Folks,
Is it absolutely necessary to set the GLOBAL_NAMES parameter to TRUE for
databases that participate in streams? If I set this parameter to FALSE
but make sure that the db links are always named after the target
database name, would there be any issue with this approach? I just spoke
with Oracle and their duty manager told me that it may work fine but
that it would not be supported, an argument that I am a little hesitant
to buy.

This is kina urgent, so I would really appreciate a quick response.

Thanks
Amir
