This appendix describes features no longer supported by Oracle Net Services.
This appendix contains these topics:
In an effort to streamline configuration decisions for the Internet, the following subsections describe the features and the configuration file that are no longer being supported:
If you are using Identix or SecurID authentication methods, provided by Oracle Advanced Security, Oracle Corporation recommends migrating to one of the following authentication methods:
Support for NDS as an authentication method and as an external naming method is no longer supported. If you are using NDS as an external naming method, Oracle Corporation recommends using directory naming instead.
Net8 OPEN, which provided an application program interface (API) that enabled programmers to develop both database and non-database applications, is no longer supported.
The protocol.ora
file is no longer supported.
Parameters in the protocol.ora
file have been merged into the sqlnet.ora
file. These parameters enable you to configure access control to the database, as well as no delays in TCP/IP buffer flushing. These parameters include:
If you have a protocol.ora
file in the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
directory on UNIX, and the ORACLE_HOME
\network\admin
directory on Windows operating systems, Oracle Net Manager, when first started, automatically merges the protocol.ora
parameters into the sqlnet.ora
file.
There may be operating system specific parameters in protocol.ora
that are node specific. For this reason, Oracle Corporation recommends not sharing sqlnet.ora
with other nodes after merging or adding these parameters.
Prespawned dedicated server processes are no longer supported. Instead, configure shared server to improve scalability and system resource usage.
Protocol addresses using the SPX protocol must be replaced. Oracle Net provides support for the following network protocols:
The Trace Assistant is no longer being supported. You must manually analyze trace files.
Table B-1 describes the networking parameters no longer supported.
Table B-1 Unsupported Networking Parameters
Table B-2 describes the control utility commands not supported in release 9.0.
