Correcting EPMAT-9: Invalid Credentials and EPMAT-7: Invalid Parameter Errors

EPMAT-7: Invalid Parameter Error

This error is displayed on Linux platforms when you execute the login EPM Automate command with a password that contains a special character such as the $ (dollar sign). Sometimes, EPM Automate displays EPMAT-7: Invalid Parameter error in this situation.

To resolve this error, on Linux platforms, escape the special characters using a backslash (\). For example, to use the password Example$19 with the login command, specify it as Example\$19. For detailed information, see Handling Special Characters in Working with EPM Automate.

EPMAT-9: Invalid Credentials Error

EPM Automate displays this error if the identity domain password of the user executing a command or script is invalid (has expired or is locked).

You will receive periodic password expiry warnings from [e-mail] to change your identity domain password. If you ignore this warning, your password will expire. After you update the password, EPM Automate commands and scripts that require the use of Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management credentials will fail to run if you do not use the updated password.

To resolve this error, if you use an encrypted password file, update your password encryption file to reflect the new password. See the encrypt EPM Automate command for usage and examples. If you use plain text passwords in scripts, be sure to update the scripts with the new password.
