Suppressing Password Prompts in Planning Utilities
When running Oracle Hyperion Planning utilities that prompt for passwords, administrators can use an option to suppress password prompts, for example, when running utilities in batch mode. To enable suppressing password prompts, use the PasswordEncryption
utility to create a file that stores a password in encrypted form. After the file is set up, you can run Planning utilities with the [-f:passwordFile]
option as the first parameter in the command line to skip the password prompt and use the password from the encrypted file. Each password file contains one password, and is stored in the location that you specify when running the utility.
The PasswordEncryption
utility uses a command line interface. By default, the utility is installed in the /planning1
directory (for the full path, see About EPM Oracle Instance).
