Hi Vamsi, Follow

Great work ..
 Like
But little correction ..

After restart SAP system

 RSS andFeed
check
whether the connect was successful. If
the changeover was successful, the
developer trace (SM50) should contain
the following entry:

           B read_con_info_ssfs(): DBSL

supports extended connect protocol

B   ==> connect info for default DB will

be read from ssfs
https://blogs.sap.com/2013/07/23/ssfs-secure-storage-in-file-system-configuration-in-oracle-db-for-sap/ 27/71
5/26/22, 11:39 AM SSFS (Secure Storage in File System) configuration in Oracle db for SAP | SAP Blogs

Grant command should be ..

Follow
SQL> grant sapdba to brt$adm;

To change initial password

 Like
brconnect -u / -c -f chpass -o
'BRT$ADM' -p <password> -s
brtool
brtools
 RSS Feed

After you have set up the BR*Tools

database users, you can call all
BR*Tools executables with the
option "-u //" to connect to the
database using the data that you
have stored in the secure storage.

Run brconnect -u // -c -f check

Also note 1639578 has the steps that
need to be performed for SSFS setup.
