SAP Note 400241 - Problems with ops$ or sapr3 connect to Oracle

Component : Oracle - Database Administration with Oracle

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/400241 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
SAP Note addresses connection issues to Oracle database, specifically for R/3 work processes requiring use of 'sapr3' user. Errors noted include ORA-01017 and ORA-01031, indicating invalid credentials and insufficient privileges, respectively. Resolution involves using OPS$ users, configured with OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX and operational system user name matches. Proper setups for OPS$ users include ensuring domain names are included in Oracle 8.1.5 on NT systems. Alternatives include direct 'sapr3' login with default 'sap' password, essential for connection success providing correct password setting or OPS$ setup. Additionally, BR*TOOLS use OPS$ for database connections. Note emphasizes correct password retrieval and user setup to avoid connectivity failures.
