Hello All

Im back from the trenches to post a quick request for help....<g>

Ive setup onames on 2 servers and standard applications, (our app and sqlplus) connect just fine, a problem situation manifests itself when:

1 users need to connect (add a database) to dba studio. They get a error to the effect "cant resolve host name"
And the other
2. Users connect to remote databases (via vpn) that are in our onames but many of these vpn connections once made do not allow access to *our* network resources.

So basically almost all of oour users have one or more of these secenarios which means they will need to maintain a tnsnames file as well.

I'm managing about 70+ connect discriptors.... And I was hoping onames could be a centralised answer

Is this common? Or is there a workaround?

Thanks!
bob
