Products

Issue/Introduction

When running the URT, the expdp fails to run and returns error LRM-00101

LRM-00101: unknown parameter name 'PROTECT/XXXX

Environment

Enforce 15.x 

Oracle 12c, 19c 

Cause

There was an = sign in the password and expdp is looking for the first = sign to pass all the command line arguments. The password appears to be truncated but export is passing the rest of the password as a command line argument.

Resolution

1. Change the Oracle password for the "protect" user to be one without the = sign.
2. Use dbpasswordchanger to update the "protect" account on the Enforce Server with the new password. 

Additional Information

For more information about the allowed characters in the Oracle user account password, see our KB 160157; Password guidelines for the Oracle 'protect' user.
