Modify the 5.x .smdif File With an OCI Namespace User Directory

If the 5.x Oracle policy store had 5.x policies that defined user directories with the OCI namespace, do the following to the 5.x policy store’s .smdif file before importing the file into the 6.x policy store:

1. Open the .smdif file in a text editor.
2. Replace every OCI: reference with ODBC: and save the file.

   Important! If you do not make these changes to the 5.x .smdif file, the 6.x policy store cannot import the .smdif file since OCI is not supported by the 6.x Policy Server.

After importing the 5.x policy store’s .smdif file into the 6.x policy store, the 6.x Policy Server uses the OCI namespace user directory as an ODBC user directory.
