Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> OID setup guide....
Hi all,
I'm looking at ways of getting us away from using tnsnames.ora files. We have way too many servers and clients, and maintenance is going to kill us. So, I think the correct solution is OID. Has anyone (successfully) set up OID? Is there a step-by-step guide? Should I stick w/ 9i or go straight to 10g? I tried running 'oidca' on my test 10g instance, but it kept complaining about a 1/2 dozen command line parameters that I didn't know anything about.
So, I'm not an LDAP expert, and I don't want to be. I just want to centrally administer my database service names. Can anyone offer a clue? I did some MetaLink searching without any luck.
I'm just looking for a basic "do these things in this order, then enter your service names here and do this to make all your clients see the OID service".
Thanks in advance,
-Mark
