-u|-user

This BRSPACE command option defines the user name and password used by the SAP tool to log on to the database. Since BRSPACE connects to the database as SYSDBA, you do not have to specify the user and password if the operating system user belongs to the dba group.

-u|-user [<user>[/<password>]|/]
         

Default value: system/<default_password>

If you only enter -u , BRSPACE performs an interactive query of the user name and the password. You can enter the user name and the password separately (only enter the user name or the option -u <user>). BRSPACE then prompts entry of the password. In this case, the password is not displayed during entry, and does not appear in the process list.

This protects the DBA password.

In shell scripts, you can structure the call as follows:

brspace -c force -u -f dbshut <<END <user>/<password> END

However, use this command only if the option -c is active.
