Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues related to password input for the SAPDBA utility, particularly concerning the ORACLE authentication mechanism. Users can transfer usernames and passwords to sapdba using the flag feature, with the default setting as "-u system/manager". For version 3.0C and later, password entries become invisible, and there are specifications on maximum password length, with adaptations for longer passwords possible. Additionally, passwords can be stored in a file and transferred discreetly. The OPS$-User-Mechanism, detailed in both ORACLE documentation and SAP Problem Note 8523, provides an alternative authentication method using the "sapdba -u /" syntax for operational flexibility.
