Setting the database password

Plug‑in for Oracle lets you save the Oracle authentication details that are used to connect to the database automatically. Saving the authentication information eliminates the need to enter the details each time a connection to the database is required. You can save these details either at the time of adding a database or any time later using the Set Database Password option.

1
In the Navigation Pane, click Create Backup Job, and click Create New next to the Selections list.
2
In the selection tree, open the applicable client node.

Double-click Plug‑in for Oracle, and select the applicable database.

Enter the following information:
•
Account Name – Enter an Oracle user name with SYSDBA privileges.
•
Password – Enter the password associated with the user name specified in the preceding field.
6
Click OK to save the authentication details.
 
 
*IMPORTANT: If the password for the configured SYSDBA user is changed in the Oracle database, you must update the password in the plug-in.
