Databases participating in a primary/standby arrangement perform tasks connected as sysdba. This is supported via the use of a pre-shared password file. I can't think of anything else that would need to. Perhaps you just need to grant a specific sys_priv or tab_priv to a service account to accomplish the task? Perhaps you just need to logon to the host via ssh to perform the task? Paul
