Re: How to encrypt Password in Export script file ?

instead of that, I create an account in the database that is identified externally (can only run from that server, and does not have a login password). You will need a matching Unix account for it, if the unix account is "exportacct" then create the database account as "ops$exportacct"

grant this account create session and exp_full_database

then change your shell script to read userid="/" and run the script from the exportacct account

this way you don't need to hardcode a password ANYWHERE
