RE: TNSNAMES.ora to LDAP/OiD conversion

Yechiel,

As I've posted before, we had major show-stoppers with OID 9.0.1 Replication under RH7.1 Linux. I think you had said before about using 9.2, but under what platform?

Stephen, from what I recall, there may not be a whole lot you need to design for the LDAP tree if you are only using OID for Oracle Names Resolution. For our smallish company with <40 instances (test and production) and only one Oracle Networking domain, all DB network aliases existed in the same branch. For larger implementations, this may be different. You could create more than the default "Oracle Context" -- NOT to be confused with Context indexes -- in OID. You'll want to read more on this in the docs. Check them out at

HTH! GL! :) Rich
