I'm a little confused about the -p flag for su though. From my manual page, I see this:I think you are wanting to code in the password so you don't have to key it in. If that is the case, use a sudo rule to perform the operation you want to do and write it to not require a password.

Tools such as su, ssh etc. are written to prevent command line or scripted use (although you can su if you are already root)

A rule such as:-

Code:

%your-group    ALL = (oracle) NOPASSWD:  ALL

.... should let people in the specified group do anything as the oracle account without a password check. You would use it thus:-

Code:

sudo -u $ou_user some_command_here

BEWARE!
This may expose you to risk! Do you really want to grant so much? Maybe you you allow less than everything when running as oracle

I hope that this helps,

hi robin,

sorry for delayed reply... specifying oracle username is mandatory, as i cant login to that remote box directly with oracle user(some network restrictions prevent that). Only i can login into initial user and then I need to switch the user..However did not get breakthrough as password is not allowed to be specified for su command..

capture-schema

capture-schema(1m)					    Application Server Utility						capture-schema(1m)

NAME

       capture-schema -  stores the database metadata (schema) in a file for use in mapping and execution

SYNOPSIS

       capture-schema-dburl url-username name- password password-driver a_jdbc_driver [-schemaname name] [-table tablename]* [-out filename]

       Stores  the  database metadata (schema) in a file. You can also use the Sun Java System Studio IDE to capture the database schema. Run cap-
       ture-schema as the same database user that owns the tables, so that the -username and -schemaname options  are  given  the  same  username.
       Additionally, you can grant the database user running the capture-schema command the ANALYZE ANY TABLE privilege.

OPTIONS

       -dburl		       JDBC URL expected by the driver for accessing a database.

       -username	       user name for authenticating access to a database.

       -password	       password for accessing the selected database.

       -driver		       JDBC driver classname in your CLASSPATH.

       -schemaname	       name of the user schema being captured. If not specified, the default will capture metadata for all tables from all
			       the schemas accessible to this user. Specifying this parameter is highly recommended. If more than  one	schema	is
			       accessible to this user, more than one table with the same name may be captured which will cause problems.

       -table		       name of the table; multiple table names can be specified.

       -out		       output target; defaults to stdout. This parameter corresponds to the schema sub-element of the sun-cmp-mapping ele-
			       ment in the sun-cmp-mapping_1_1.dtd file.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Using capture-schema

       capture-schema -dburl jdbc:oracle:thin:@sadbuttrue:1521:ora817
       -schemaname cantiflas -username CANTIFLAS -password enigma -driver
       oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
