The Global Service Name is discovered by RUN_setup and is usually in the form of <instance>.<domain> - example "compiere.myCompany.com". The Service Name is defined when installing the database. When manually entering the Database Name (e.g. in the Connection Dialog) make sure that you enter the Service Name.
