Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/50088 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
The SAP Note details procedures for creating and managing OPS$ users in Oracle databases on Windows NT for SAP systems. Key targets for OPS$ user creation are SAPService and ADM, crucial for system operation and security. The note delineates the OPS$ mechanism, enhancing database security by restricting password access exclusively to specific operating system users. It is pertinent for executing secured backups via transaction DB13 in CCMS and supports both central and distributed SAP system architectures through SQL*Net V2. Specific configurations like setting "remote_os_authent=TRUE" are necessary for distributed environments, excluding Oracle 8.*. Comprehensive guidance on creating OPS$ users across various Oracle and SAP releases, and changing passwords for database users are provided. Proper setup is critical to prevent unauthorized database access and maintain system integrity.
