UOD and Oracle Forms compatibility

SFrixJul 16 2025 — edited Jul 16 2025

Hello,

We are working on deployment of UOD to replace TNSNAMES.ora files

Our environment is:
Servers: Windows
OUD - Oracle Unified Directory: 12.2.1.4
Oracle Forms 12.2.1.4 or 12.2.1.19 or 14.1.2.0

With Forms 14.1.2.0 we have no issue to connect our databases using OUD.

But with Form 12.2.1.4 or 12.2.1.19 we have the following issue (the below example is with 12.2.19). It is a simple example with TNSPING from bin folder of our 12.2.1.19 installation but we discovered the problem because our Forms application can't connect anymore to the database when OUD setup was enabled.

TNS-03505: Failed to resolve name

We did not find any note or documentation saying OUD can't be used with Forms 12c.

Is there any specific patch to apply or setup to do on Forms 12c to make it working with OUD ?

thanks in advance.
