I did that in 9i (9.0.1) on Linux and it was *very* unreliable. It was explained to me that the 9i OID replication was really not full-blown Oracle AR due to the fact that some of the LDAP object attributes or tree or something (I forget) had to be different between the two servers, which AR wouldn't allow. Anyway, we could not get it stable for more than a week or two at a time and Oracle Support couldn't replicate it, so we junked it. Maybe 10g will be more reliable... ;) Rich -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Paul Baumgartel Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 2:50 PM To: Mark.Bobak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Jason Heinrich; oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Help with 10g AS and OID Mark, Just depends on which direction you're facing! "Export" from tnsnames.ora...? Glad it worked. Just don't try setting up LDAP replication to a second OID server...I suffered through that for weeks and finally gave up! Paul
