If DirectConnect for Oracle was not configured at installation time, you can use the DCOConfig batch file to configure and start the server. The DCOConfig batch file can be found at %SYBASE%\DCO-12_6\install\DCOConfig. Before starting the configuration, the following should be available:
A copy of the existing tnsnames.ora file currently being used to connect to Oracle, which you will copy to a temporary file location
The Oracle connect string
The name for a valid Oracle account, which will be the administrator for DirectConnect for Oracle
The number of an unused port to be used by DirectConnect for Oracle
To invoke the configuration utility
Change directories to %SYBASE%\DCO-12_6\install.
Execute DCOConfig.
Enter the server name for DirectConnect for Oracle.
Enter an unused port on the machine that DirectConnect for Oracle will be listening on.
Enter a valid DirectConnect for Oracle Administrator Name.
Enter the Oracle connection string as previously defined in the tnsnames.ora file.
