OD SET CONFIGURATION FILE (fileName)
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
| fileName | String | Name of file containing the servers aliases |
Description
OD SET CONFIGURATION FILE allows you to specify the file that will be used to get the Oracle server aliases. You can define several sets of aliases for different groups of users. These aliases are displayed in the login dialog pop-up menu when you call OD Login dialog.
The file must be of type TEXT and must be located in the same folder as the TNSNAMES.ORA or config.ora file, depending on the SQL*Net version you are using. You can edit it with an application like TeachText or Notepad, and you must follow the same syntax rules as those used for the TNSNAMES.ORA or config.ora file. For more information on these rules, refer to the OD Login dialog command.
If you do not call OD SET CONFIGURATION FILE, or if you call with an empty string as a filename, 4D for Oracle uses the TNSNAMES.ORA or the config.ora file located in your Oracle Home folder.
Note: If you are using SQL*Net 2.0, you may want to use OD SET CONFIGURATION FILE to specify a new file in which you would have put together SQL*Net v1 aliases defined in the config.ora file and SQL*Net v2 aliases defined in the tnsnames.ora file.
