Hi all,
I have installed an Oracle 8.1.7 database on Solaris8. This is to be used
with a DMS that we resell.
For some reason (that is totally beyond me) the (windoze) DMS client, which
connects using ODBC needs a 'simple' TNS name.
I can run odbctest successfully as long as in tnsnames.ora I use
doku.domain.at
I need to be able to run odbctest with just doku.
If that matters the hostname is also doku and I can ping it with just doku
or doku.domain.at
If that sounds totally confused, you get it right, because I am.
Thanks for ANY light,
