Oracle Agent Configuration Utility

[Steve_Sawyer]

W2K Adv. Server; Oracle 8i, Veritas 9.0, Oracle Failsafe (Cluster)

The oracle account password on the database tab in the oracle agent configuration utility gets corrupted or resets on it's own. When this happens, we have to walk the client through a process of resetting the password. Does the configuration utility have a command line applet that can be used to reset the password? The error message that prompts us to this problem, is "unable to attach to device." I posted a similar question before, but the response was to leave the password blank, however it's impossible for us to do that. We have a lot of clients out there using this configuration. Any suggestions? Thanks, Steve.

Thanks for the information. I've went through the material in the link, and all criteria have been met. Everything works fine for a while. And then intermittently, some of the clients experience the problem. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Veritas Backup Exec for Windows Server 9.0 Rev 4454.

A review of the message logs indicates "Unable to attach to one of the drives." When this message is discovered, we have the client go into the Oracle Agent Configuration utility and have them re-enter the Oracle Database password. After they re-enter the password, the backup job runs successfully.

On one occasion, the same client experienced this problem twice in one week. Not sure how this information is getting lost or corrupted.

Thanks for your update. I look forward to your response. Steve.

I have found a solution, but have a question concerning modifying a pre-job.
Stopping and Starting the Backup Exec Oracle Agent service does the same thing as re-entering the password. I guess the job looses its connection to the BE Oracle Configuration utility and restarting the service reconnects it.

I've added a batch file to the pre-job command to stop and start this service before the Oracle backup job runs.

Does anyone know if there is a way to modify existing jobs to add this pre-job command using the bemcmd or command line utility? Thanks, Steve.
