Note:
  1. See appropriate IBM Storage Protect documentation.
  2. If you are using manual password generation during testing, make sure that the expiration period is set to an appropriate time.
  3. This password must be the one that is effective on the IBM Storage Protect server for the node.
  4. ADSMNODE must not be set when PASSWORDACCESS generate is set.
  5. The users SIDadm and db2SID oraSID must have read and write permission for the path specified in the PASSWORDDIR option in the IBM Storage Protect client options file.
  6. This step is only necessary if the password is expired (manual-handling only) or must be changed on the IBM Storage Protect server.
  7. A password must be entered for each server statement in the Data Protection for SAP profile.
  8. When you use Oracle RMAN with PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE, backups must always be started with the same user ID provided in step 5 (setting of passwords).
  9. When you use PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE, the operations must always be used with the same user ID provided in step 5 (setting of passwords).
