Hi all,
I have the following commands in a batch file scheduled for daily execution:
set oracle_sid=mydatadb
rman target / catalog mycatusr/mycatpwd@mycatdb script Daily_Backup >>
backup.log
My organization requires the catalog password (mycatpwd) above to be
encrypted and not stored as clear text in any other file or environment
variable. How can I still use this batch file for scheduled backups without
providing a clear text password?
The only option I can think of is to compile the commands into a binary
executable. Any other ideas besides that?
Thanks in advance.
Bill
