don't like windog at al, but there is a cd

UNIX TOOLS FOR WINDOWS

that offers a shell functionality. it will cost some M$ just to mention it.

but:

CYGWIN works fine

On Windohs, you'll need to install the GNU-licensed CygWin
(http://www.cygwin.com) in order to use the Unixy shell scripts.

I've tried this at home, and the scripts worked exactly like they do on
Linux.  Note that doesn't mean they always work *correctly*, they just work
the same.

Re: OiD vs. OpenLDAP

2002-03-15 Thread Jared . Still


Open LDAP has issues.

Do a search on slashdot.org for commentary on it.  I was quite surprised
at how many folks had problems with it that prevented them from using it.

Made me feel a bit better about never getting it to work.  :)

Subject:OiD vs. OpenLDAP


So, as we are about to implement Oracle Internet Directory 3.0.1.  I had
planned to use our standard method of ARCHIVELOG mode and hotbackups, but
Oracle says that it won't be valid for recovery, due to the OiD admin
treating some operations, like "ldapaddmt" as atomic (one fail = all 
fail).
And that recovering to a point in the middle of the ldapaddmt would be 
bad.

Well, duh.  So, what Oracle's saying is that we need to do an ldifwrite 
(or
ldapsearch) to backup our data.  So why use Oracle at all?  If you can't 
use
Oracle's recoverability, why use it?  Why not use OpenLDAP?  That's what 
my
supervisor's asking, and I can't come up with an answer.

Thoughts?

Hi,
We had this problem too (Solaris 2.7/EE8.1.6, penguin/EE8.17). I've created 
the DB manually (stay in the lower meg-range), erased the echo "Oracle 
Internet Directory Configuration Assistant" lines in the
ldap/postcfg/postcfg

RE: OID questions

2001-02-28 Thread Nelson, Greg


Failover information in Oracle Internet Directory (OID) is entered like Net8
configuration information.  You can import the exact information that is in
your TNSNAMES.ORA into OID, so if you can code failovers in TNSNAMES.ORA you
can put it in OID as well.  So you would handle failovers using OID thru a
combination of how you set up your databases and Net8.
 
You will also want to make sure that you have a failover for the OID
database if you decide to use it.  If it is your connection server and it
isn't up clients obviously can't connect.  You can place failover options in
SQLNET.ORA and/or the LDAP.ORA file that is used by OID, such as having
multiple OID databases or Advanced Replication.
 
I have learned the hard way (not on MetaSlop) that OID is not available on
Parallel Server yet so thats not an option.
 
There is no concise or clear directions available that I know of to get OID
installed and working (at least from Oracle).  The steps to install and get
OID working are found not only in the OID manual.  They involve installing
OID from the Enterprise Edition CD under Management Infrastructure which
creates an OID database or populates one of your choosing, starting OID
services, using Oracle Directory Manager to create your particular LDAP
context (i.e. banknorth.com), Net8 Configuration Assistant for adding Oracle
Administration context under your context, and Net8 Assistant for adding
entries from TNSNAMES.ORA under your context.  Entries can also be bulk
loaded by Oracle scripts which I haven't done yet.  
 
Piecing it all together the first time took me a week because of the lack of
clear directions.  I documented it myself and then 2 months later did a
complete install on another server in an hour using my own documentation.
 
Migrating from Oracle Names would undoubtedly involve some different steps
(probably at my TNSNAMES import).  There will be an Oracle Names proxy in
9i.
 
After saying all this I believe it will all be worth it once it comes time
to cofigure hundreds of Oracle clients.  Also, since OID is an LDAP
directory it will have many other uses as well.  Its too bad that Oracle
couldn't have put together clear documentation on installing and using it
but that's nothing new.

I'm considering the switch from Oracle Names to Oracle Internet Directory.
One feature I liked about names was the dynamic discovery. Does dynamic
discovery also work with OID? For example if one of my databases fails over
to another machine in it's cluster, the names server is automatically
updated by the listener as soon as the database starts up on the new
machine. Will that also happen with OID? If not, can it easily be scripted
(korn shell).

Also, is there a consicise, easy to follow reference, that tells you how to
add a database to OID so you can use OIS to resolve a name to it? I've gone
through the entire OID manual and found nothing on the subject.
