I'm using ArcGIS 10.2.1. I have created a connection in Arc Catalog to an Oracle geodatabase. In the text box for the "instance" I put in "ddev1_linux". When I examine the connection properties, I see that it is set to "sde:oracle11g:ddev1_linux;LOCAL=gisdta". I'm curious why the LOCAL=gisdta has been appended. How do I interpret the "instance" string in the connection properties?

Connect to Oracle from ArcGIS—Help | ArcGIS Desktop This link provides all the details, regarding what can be provided in the 'Instance'parameter depending on the different scenarios.
I personally have never observed the 'LOCAL' part getting appended after making a connection. The addition of the "sde:oracle11g" is as expected and as designed.

Note: TWO_TASK (for UNIX/Linux) and LOCAL (for Windows) are Oracle environment variables. Refer to Oracle documentation for further information.
