RE: Replacement for onames in 10g

We announced quite some time back that OiD was the replacement for Oracle N= ames going forward from the 9i release timeframe, so you won't find namesct= l at all from what I understand in 10g.

Having said that, the options that I'm aware of are:

1. Use OiD
2. Replicate tnsnames everywhere
3. Use a central tnsnames file and then use the tns_admin environment varia= ble to point to it. =

All going from memory so take it with a grain of salt. :)

Subject: Replacement for onames in 10g

Hi

    Im looking for a replacement of onames (which worked perfectly on 9i) Going from 9ir2 to 10.1.0.2
namesctl does not seem to be available on 10g. I understand that OID is =

overkill for a tnsnames replacement. Im handling about 500 intermittent =

users within one company's network
What are admins on 10g using as a replacement for onames?

TIA
bob
