Using a Password File

Execute amtune or amtune.bat with a file that contains passwords for the servers in your deployment. Use the following strings:

For sample entries, see the sample passwords file. The file amtune-samplepasswordfile is located in the directory:

TOOLS_DIR\OPENSSO_URI\bin\amtune,

where amtune/amtune.bat and amtune-env.properties are also located.

On Solaris, Linux, and AIX, the password file must be inaccessible to non-owners and only readable by its owner . For example, you can change the permissions mode of the password file by running the following command:

chmod 400

On Windows, amtune.bat does not check the permission on the password file.

Tuning operating system parameters does not require a password file.
