Hi Gene,
After much experimenting w/ OID, I discovered a much simpler solution, called tnsManager.
See:
http://www.shutdownabort.com/tnsmanager/
I've been running it a few months now. Simple to setup and configure, runs great, and it MUCH MUCH lighter weight and far less complex than OID.
OID can do a TON of stuff tnsManager can't. But, if all you want is centralized tnsnames.ora, this is the way to go!
I love it!

Hi all,
I wonder if you can share how you manage your tnsnames.ora file.
I currently have about a dozen database servers and each one has tnsnames.ora locally.
Whenever IP, server name, ... gets changed I have to remember to update that file accordingly on every box.
I am not even mentioning user machines and the fact that not every box needs to have a full set of connections on it.
Thanks,
Eugene Pipko
