Yeah the 8i client and the Net8 Assistant have some definite issues at times. From what I remember when you made ( at some maintenance level ) manual changes to one or more of the client files ( tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora ) the GUI would just barf and couldn't deal with it. ( One workaround was to do all changes through the GUI ).

Thankfully that has gotten better.

Have you updated your sqlnet.ora with the names preferred server stuff? Received on Tue Feb 07 2006 - 19:12:29 CST
