To set authentication credentials on the Backup Exec server for Oracle operations
  1. Click the Backup Exec button, select Configuration and Settings, and then click Backup Exec Settings.
  2. In the left pane, click Oracle.
  3. Enter the name of the Oracle server on which the instance is installed.
The name of the Oracle server should match the name of the server that lists the Oracle resource. Veritas recommends that you enter the fully qualified domain name. For example, Servername.domain.com is the fully qualified domain name and Servername is the NETBIOS name. For Oracle RAC nodes, enter the RAC-\<database name\>-\<database ID\> for each node in the list.
  1. Click Add.
  2. To add the logon account name, do one of the following:
    Click the arrow Select the logon account name that you want to add.
    Click Enter the appropriate options.
Use the same logon account format that you use when you enter the logon account name on the Database Access tab in the Backup Exec Agent Utility. For example, if you entered Domainname\Username on the Backup Exec Agent Utility, use that same format on the list of authentication credentials.
  1. Click OK.
