Well I think I am close to a success in implementig udmsearch on a Linux/Oracle8i on Linux architecture. I just miss to connect to my oracle due to the connect string which cannot be resolved by the oci call! Here is the adapted string in the indexer-config DBAddr oracle://<usr>:<pwd>@<hostname>/<sid>/ I get following error: Oracle - Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-12154! Can anybody help me?
