Okay, I pushed things a bit further with Oracle Support.
They confirmed that using IFILE is supported in tnsnames.ora AND
listener.ora and pointed me to Doc Id 91990.1, which unfortunately
cannot be read by common users. :-(
Quote:
„The same principle could be applied to the tnsnames.ora and
listener.orafiles. The common tnsnames.ora file would contain normal
connection strings. The individual tnsnames.ora file would most likely
contain only one line:
IFILE = J:\ORACLE\NETWORK\ADMIN\TNSNAMES.ORA
Other connect strings specific to this one client could be included in
the specific tnsnames.ora after the IFILE statement.“
As this note isn't accessible publicly, I filed a documentation bug.
Let's wait and see if anything happens.
Cheers,
Uwe
