It will ask for the oracle client if it not there on your system. Asking you to pick the path of the downloaded oracle client zip file location and TNS_ADMIN patch as well.

Sample tnsnames.ora entry is as below

But unlike most of the free stuff you can find on the internet, there’s no advertising at all, and you are not the product here. Duik is free, as in free beer as well as in freedom. We just work in a non-mercantile way, and consider sharing as a great value. Adobe after effects full crack.

Port forward setup in secure CRT.
Edit the .ini file at the location C:UsersAppDataRoamingVanDykeConfigSessions for port forwarding setting.
Like pd01.ibm.com 7.1 surround music.

Database entries Something like this
Pd01 1521 1 pd01.xxxxx.com 1521

I want to move to a new PC and take my Toad connections with me because I have a few and don't want to retype them all.

Copy the %APPDATA%DellToad for OracleVERSIONUser Files folder to your new PC.

Ie.

C:UsersUSERNAMEAppDataRoamingDellToad for OracleVERSIONUser Files

C:Documents and SettingsUSERNAMEApplication DataDellToad for OracleVERSIONUser Files

Beware: In older versions of Toad 'Dell' in the path above used to be 'Quest Software'.

You have to save your tnsnames.ora files of your respective oracle installations. Also, I believe TOAD uses the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to locate the TNS_NAMES.ORA it is using.

Toad 12.6 - 64 bitcoping the folders did not work for me.Toad had new option- menu utilities-> copy user settings. this worked and imported user ids and password.

One more thing to note is that in your new computer folder destination as Evan specified (generally it is in the ADMIN folder, can you can search for ora format, pretty rare you have another file that format). If after installing Toad, there's already a tnsname.ora file exist, you have to do some work around:

1. copy and paste
2. if you run into troubles, back out of the folder, right click and select admin view (especially for windows 7 and vista)
3. that allows you to edit the file
4. if no pasting is allowed, just cut and move the existing tnsname.ora file and 'cut' it out of the folder
5. then move the correct one in
6. generally you can now edit the tnsname.ora file outside of the ADMIN folder, feel free to open and then paste all the TNS Names.

On the Old machine:Menu> Session>New Connection Mydlink for windows 10.

then Select all connections and Use the Export button(with a blue arrow pointing to Right Down - located at the top of the Pop up screen).

On the New machine:Menu> Session>New Connection

then Use the Import button(with a blue arrow pointing UP - located at the top of the Pop up screen).
