Beginner question for OMBDEPLOY

Question

Hi all,
I am trying to depoly one mapping using OMBDEPLOY. Please point me to the right direction.
1. OMBCONNECT 'my_design_repository'
2. OMBCC 'my_project'
3. OMBCREATE 'my_deployment_action_plan'
4. OMBCAC 'my_configuration'
5. OMBCONNECT CONTROL_CENTER 'my_runtime_control_center'
Everything works fine so far, and then I do the OMBDEPLOY
6. OMBDEPLOY DEPLOYMENT_ACTION_PLAN 'my_deployment_action_plan'
But I get the following error message:
ora-01017: invalid username/password:logon denied
Deployment completed.
I give user/password in my step 5, and it says 'Control Center connected'. My question is which user/password is wrong here?
Can anybody help. Thanks so much.

Here is my OMB+ script to deploy all mappings in a project:
Your connection error, by the way, probably relates to the fact that if the location passowrd name is not retained in the repository, then it must be set at runtime. We don't save our passwords, so you will notice the OMBALTER LOCATION '$DATA_LOCATION_NAME' SET PROPERTIES (PASSWORD) VALUES ('$DATA_LOCATION_PASS') to set it at runtime below
