Hi

I've
installed OAS 4.0.8.1 on Solaris 2.7.  When I run the env command against my oas user (oas40), it tells me that TNS_ADMIN is set to TNS_ADMIN=/opt/oas40/product/4.0.8.1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora.  This tnsnames contains ONLY host information for our development instances.  Yet, if I issue a tnsping command and use one of the production instances referenced in the Oracle user's (oracle) tnsnames file, I get a return.  The env command, run against oracle shows me TNS_ADMIN=/opt/oracle/product/8.1.6/network/admin/tnsnames.ora.

In
fact, changes to the oas user's tnsnames file have no effect whatsoever, the only place it appears to be getting host info from is the oracle tnsnames.

This
is not life-threatening.  I'm just curious.  If somebody could point out a couple things I'm obviously missing, it would be greatly appreciated.
