Bob,
I was doing this on a Win2k client connecting to onames on Solaris.
This was with 8.1.7.4 on the client and 8.1.7.2 on the client.
Better check MetaLink.

Hello Jared
I did not know that the client could call the "default" name server... from sqlnet.ora... pretty cool.
However, there now seems to be some bugs (no..)....
It seems the namesctl ignores the arg to use a user defined path eg a file does *not* gets created in C:\temp
BUT.... an *empty* tnsnames files does get created in the %oracle_home%\network\admin
PROVIDING there is *not* an existing tnsnames there, if there is, namesctl simply creates a copy of the *existing* tnsnames with a .sav extension
!
Ive tested this on my machine running 8.1.7.4 all our client/user pcs here are 8.17 0r 8.16
Im running w2k pro on all our client machines
maybe I discoverd a bug in Oracle! <g>
thanks!

namesctl dump_tnsnames c:\temp\tnsnames.txt
creates the above scenario
the output
C:\>namesctl dump_tnsnames c:\temp\tnsnames.txt
Oracle Names Control for 32-bit Windows: Version 8.1.7.0.0 - Production on 27-AUG-2003 11:31:39
(c) Copyright 1997 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
Currently managing name server "NS_CPSDB2"
Version banner is "Oracle Names for 32-bit Windows: Version 9.2.0.1.0 - Production"
No need to do it quite the way you are attempting.
c:> namesctl dump_tnsnames c:\temp\tnsnames.txt
worked fine for me. The default server is ns_ns1
Had I wanted to do this from another server, say ns2, I would
have gone directly into namesctl, then issued the command
'set server ns_ns2'

No doubt im in the wrong ball field here but this is what I have
Windows 2k
Server1 Ns1 on 8.1.7.4
Server2 Ns2 on 9.2.0.1.0
[server1]
C:\> start \\server1\bin\namesctl dump_tnsnames C:\mytnsnames.txt
It creates an empty file on my (remote) machine
>From the server C:\> namesctl dump_tnsnames C:\mytnsnames.txt it creats
an empty C:\mytnsnames.txt
[server2]
C:\> start \\server2\bin\namesctl dump_tnsnames C:\mytnsnames.txt
And it creates an empty file on my (remote) machine
>From the server itself it creats a full C:\mytnsnames.txt file with all
the connect discriptors
How is this supposed to be called?
Thanks!
