Configuring Oracle Database and Oracle Net Services for Oracle DCE Integration
10-22 Oracle Database Advanced Security Administrator's Guide
Step 4: Load Oracle Connect Descriptors into CDS
A separate utility called tnnfg is provided with Oracle DCE Integration to load
connect descriptors into CDS. If you configure a new service name and address in
tnsnames.ora, tnnfg adds the new service name and address to CDS. If you
change the address for a particular service name, tnnfg updates the address for a
particular service name.
To load the Oracle service names or aliases from tnsnames.ora into CDS, enter
the following at the system prompt:
% dce_login cell_admin
% tnnfg dceload full_pathname_to_tnsnames.ora
% Enter Password:(password will not display)
Be sure to enter the full path name of the tnsnames.ora file, and ensure that the
sqlnet.ora file exists in the same directory as the tnsnames.ora file.
Step 5: Delete or Rename the tnsnames.ora File
You can keep tnsnames.ora available as a backup in case CDS becomes
unavailable. To assure that CDS is routinely searched instead of tnsnames.ora,
configure the NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in a profile (sqlnet.ora), as
described by "Step 6: Modify the sqlnet.ora File to Resolve Names in CDS" (the next
section).
Step 6: Modify the sqlnet.ora File to Resolve Names in CDS
The parameters required in a profile (sqlnet.ora) depend upon the version of
SQL*Net or Oracle Net Services you are using.
SID Oracle
Parameter

parameter is used locally only, and is not
used in DCE CDS.

file.
