In a test environment the databases were stopped and started regulary. Every time the Oracle agent will lock the database user account.
Is it possible to disable the locking feature?
Yes, it is possible to disable the locking feature, but it is not recommend.
Have a look at solution SOL65001
This solution described how to unlock the agent. To disable the locking do the following:
- Go to Administration | Agent Status
- Select the needed agent and click on "Edit Properties"
- In section "Monitored Connection Profile" you will find the parameter "Number of failed connection attempts before locking account"
- Set it to 0 - it will disable the locking
It is not recommended in production environments. The thing here, is to be aware of the account lock in the domain/database itself.
