ArcGis-Oracle direct connection

Question

Dear Friends:
We're doing a direct connection beteewn ArcGis 8.1.2 and Oracle 8.1.7.
We've just populated the sde schema and tried the connection in ArcCatalog.
However, the Oracle4 spatial indexes are not recognized during the connection. These are RTree index.
If we look at the Features Class Properties sheet, in the Indexes part (ArcGis) there is no reference to the Oracle spatial index.
If we type 'sdelayer -o describe_long .....' the 'Spatial Index' is like this:
parameter SPIDX_DBTUNE
exist YES
array_form 0,0,0
I think there is any wrong in the sde.dbtune table, but I don4t know what this is.
Another question:
We have set the SRID value in the Oracle4s metadata tables, but when the spatial tables are registered, the SDE.SPATIAL_REFERENCES table is populated whit arbitraries values not corresponding whit the Oracle4s SRID ones . Must I manually change this values with the equivalent of the pedef.h file? What information must I introduce in this table?
Thank you in advance

Hello David:
Take a look at:
http://arconline.esri.com/ArcSDEOnline/ArcSDE/admin_command_refs/arcsde_com_refs.htm
The sdelayer -o register options:
sdelayer -o register -l <table,column> [-e <entity_mask>] -c <primary_key_column>
[-k <config_keyword>] [-S <layer_description_str>] [-i <service>]
[-s <server_name>] -u <DB_User_name> [-p <DB_User_password>] [-q]
In our help:
sdelayer -o register -l <table,column> -e <entity_mask>
[{-c <row_id_column> -C {SDE | USER} } | {-C NONE}]
[Spatial_Index] [-S <layer_description_str>]
[-k <config_keyword>] [-i <service>] [-s <server_name]
-u <DB_User_name> [-p <DB_User_password>] [-D <database>] [-q]
We4re using ArcGis 8.1.2. I4ve readed there is a patch of the direct connection drivers for an ArcSde Client. Have you installed this ?(sde81sp1_ora8i_intel_nt.zip).
Of course, this is not an important problem, but the curiosity...
Thank you again
