I think it needs an OS authentication. So if you login to the server (not
Oracle ) as khoffman with a password of pullHairOut then you will need to
supply that. If the OS on the other end is NT then you have to set the
rights of that user (e.g. our example khoffman) to allow execute of batch
jobs - it is an advanced right. It is also non-intuitive to add that right;
Oracle support knew.
I hope that helps
