Oracle Database 11.2.0.3
RHEL 5.9 & Windows Server 2008 R2
We have Oracle databases running on Linux. And Oracle clients are installed on both Linux and Windows.
The customer wants to use a centralized tnsnames.ora file kept at a windows server.
For windows clients, It is very simple. We created a sharable folder on E drive of one windows server and kept our tnsnames.ora file there. And for all windows servers (where oracle clients were installed) we created a TNS_ADMIN environment variable pointing to windows server sharable folder.
TNS_ADMIN=\\winserver_where_sharable_folder_resides\tns_admin
It works well without any problem,
I just want to know how to create TNS_ADMIN variable on Linux pointing to this windows server location...........
