Re: Default location for tnsnames.ora

There are several locations it looks in if no TNS_ADMIN variable exists= .
One is $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin. /etc is another.

On a system I used to work on (HP-UX 11.0), the  tnsnames.ora file was
stored in /etc. My question is, where is it specified that  this path i=
s
the location to use for reading this file?

No link existed for  $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora to redirec=
t=A0it
to /etc. No  TNS_ADMIN variable is being used.
