Export tnsnames.ora File Entries to Directory Server

Net service names already configured in a tnsnames.ora file can be imported into a directory server. The export is done on a per-domain basis.

Exporting a tnsnames.ora file creates net service name in the currently selected Oracle Context in the directory. If you need to change the Oracle Context, choose Command > Directory Server > Change Oracle Context in the Net8 Assistant.

To export net service names stored in a tnsnames.ora file to a directory server:

  1. Choose Command > Directory > Import Net Service Names... The Directory Migration Wizard starts.

  2. Read the introduction information, then click Next. The Select Net Service Names page appears.

  3. Select the net service names from the list to import, then click Next. The Select Destination Context page appears.

  4. Select the directory naming context that contains the Oracle Context from the Directory Naming Context list. The directory naming context is a contiguous part of a directory subtree that resides entirely on one directory server. The directory naming context can contain one or more Oracle Contexts, which contains Oracle entries.

  5. Select the Oracle Context from the Oracle Context list where you want to import to the selected net service name(s).

  6. Click Next. The wizard imports the net service names.

  7. Click Finish to dismiss the Directory Migration Wizard.
