Re: tnsnames.ora in clients

You can write a script and each time when a user logs into a domain it will check and copy the latest tnsnames.ora file. Or you can just place the tnsnames.ora file on the network drive and point everyone to it.

Hello All,

Good morning!
I would like to know how the 'tnsnames.ora' file on all client(windows) machines can be updated automatically whenever something changed on central 'tnsnames.ora' file.
Is this the process still being used extensively or else advanced features like ONS.

Your suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thanks,
