Hi All,

I run daily exports of users and tables on our development database using the sys user

eg. exp sys/password parfile=/home/$parfn.par > /home/exprun.out.

However this involves hard-coding the sys password in my script, which both I and our auditors are unhappy about. I've tried using internal but get

EXP-00004: invalid username or password
EXP-00030: Unexpected End-Of-File encountered while reading input
EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully

Any suggestions ? Is there any way to hide the password or to use internal id ?

thanks in advance,
