Hello all,
Am trying to do a backup job (OS windows) but am always getting the error
ORA-20900: Could not find credential set DBHostCreds for target type oracle_database ORA-06512: at "SYSMAN.MGMT_CREDENTIAL", line 688 ORA-06512: at "SYSMAN.MGMT_CREDENTIAL", line 1351 ORA-06512: at "SYSMAN.MGMT_JOBS", line 285 ORA-06512: at "SYSMAN.MGMT_JOBS", line 78 ORA-06512: at line 1
i checked in secpol.msc i have given the Log on as a batch job to the user
i checked the preferred credentials and when i clicked the set credentials it shows this message : There are no credential sets configured for this target type.
ie I cannot set a preferred credentials
what could be wrong ?

I am not sure that this exactly is the case but on Windows, setting the host credentials needs an additional setting. Please follow the following steps,
1. Go to control panel->administrative tools
(i) Click on "local security policy"
(ii)Click on "local policies"
(iii)Click on "user rights assignments"
(iv)Click on "log on as a batch job"
(v)Click on "add" and add the user that was entered in the "normal username" or "privileged username" section of the EM Console.
2. Go to the Preferences link in the EM
(i)Click on Preferred Credentials (link on the left menu)
(ii)Under "Target Type: Host" click on "set credentials"
(iii)Enter the OS user who has logon as a batch job privilege into the "normal username" and "normal password" fields
3. Test the connection
(i)While in the Set Credentials window, click on "Test"
Hope this would resolve the issue.
