I have created my first 9i database on OS/390 v2.10.

On my Oracle 8i instance, I can connect to the database using:

        sys/sys_password_at_the_instance

HOWEVER, In Oracle 9i, I cannot do this. I am FORCED

to connect using:

        sys/password_from_orapwd_at_the_instance as sysdba

I was wondering if this was a new 9i "feature" or if it was configurable? Or just a weird thing because of the mainframe environment.

Comments please.

Thanks in Advance
