Note: In future releases, Oracle Names will not be supported as a centralized naming method. Because no new enhancements are being added to Oracle Names, consider using directory naming or migrating an existing Oracle Names configuration to directory naming, as described in Chapter 10, "Migrating Directory Naming Data to a Directory" in the Oracle Net Services Administrator's Guide.
