I am using Oracle version 9.2.0.1.0, on Windows 2000 version
5.00.2195. I am trying to set up an directory server. I want to
switch from Oracle names to Oracle Internet Directory. The server I
want to set OID on is an remote server. So, first through telnet I
connect to the remote server. Next, from the OID Oracle_Home I set the
environment variable ORACLE_SID to the appropriate database. Then I
run the command-line, "oidmon connect=<ORACLE_SID> start". I get the
mesage "OracleDirectoryService Started". However, in oidmon.log I get
the following:
