you can find out variable name following way as well


SQL> select sys_context('userenv','SERVICE_NAME') from dual;

SQL> select sys_context('userenv','DB_NAME') from dual;




SQL> alter user sys identified by sys ;

User altered.




You have to connect sys user through tnsnames other wise you will get wrong result .
