How to pass Password to deploy command:

Required password values for SAP Accelerator are:

  • Delphix engine password

Delphix engine and database passwords are passed only using the environment variables. For instructions on how to set environment variables over the various platforms supported by Accelerator (dxac) see this page: How to set up environment variables

You will need to set the value of the environment variables and pass it to the dxac deploy command with the -e option as illustrated in this example:

Deploy to a Delphix Continuous Compliance Engine 

./dxac deploy sap <hana/oracle> -i <engine_ip> -u <Engine user> -U <Database user> -e "dxac_engine_password,dxac_database_password"

Note, you can use different names for the environment variables, however, the sequence in which the environment variables are passed should be kept the same.
