I have a few systems running under the same instance in Oracle 8.1.7. The tables used by each system is owned by a seperate table owner. E.g. Instance: TEST, System 1's tables owned by table owner PROJ1, system 2's tables owned by table owner PROJ2.
I have several batch jobs running in Unix for each system. The batch jobs are always run using the batch job id: BPROJ1(for system 1), BPROJ2(for system 2). From the shell script, I need to specify the batch job ids and their passwords. But I do not want to type the password inside as anyone can open the shell scripts and obtain the passwords for ids BPROJ1 & BPROJ2.

Someone advised me to use ORAPASSWD to generate the password files, but I do not know how to go about doing it.

Anyone can advise?

Thanks.

it's not ORAPASSWD but ORAPWD .. and it's not for that use ... ORAPWD is use to give SYSDBA and SYSOPER role to an unix user who are not in the unix group dba
