Context type

Use this group to specify an entity other than Oracle Database that can initialize the context namespace.

 

RadioButton Accessed locally

Indicates that the namespace can be accessed locally.

 

RadioButton Accessed globally

Indicates that any application context set in the namespace is accessible throughout the entire instance. This setting lets multiple sessions share application attributes.

 

RadioButton Initialized externally

Indicates that the namespace can be initialized using an OCI interface when establishing a session.

 

RadioButton Initialized globally
