Title: RE: Disable certain users from login to database while applying H

Try getting the original password values for the users concerned from dba_users - make an exact copy of the "values" field for each user.

 

Now change the password for the users concerned.

 

When you want to re-establish the original password use:-

 

alter user <username> identified by values 'put original values string here' (remember to use the quotes).

 

This will reset the original password without you having to know what it was.

But then how do you know what to change it back to?  I'd steer away from this - head w/ the revoke create session

How about changing their password for the time being.

Hi Gurus,

I need to disable certain users from login to database while I apply the Human Resources Patches for our Oracle HR 11i Applications. Which is the best way to do it ? Should I write on-logon trigger to disable or should I take away their privileges to logon to report/forms/sqlplus ? What about the rest of the DBA Applications administrator ? What do U guys do to solve the dead-lock problem (If my users access the HR tables while I apply the patches, I will encounter dead-lock problem) ?

Please advise. Thanks.

Regds,
New Bee
