Say , If I have 40 databases which runs in 40 + servers, How do you manage the credentials / environment details. Do you use an excel sheet which stores details like client name,hostname,RAC/Single , os user name/password , sys password,SYSASM password, application schemas & passwords, what purpose it is is used for,Standby is there / not, CDC environment,Staging,Testing etc etc. How do you manage these information. Is there a standard tool / some repository which can hold all these information so that it can be shared to the members of the DBA team ( Any Free tool ? ) Just curious to know how all manages the details of their data centre DB environments.Appreciate if you can share any template / suggestions from your experience Cheers, SSN -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
