Question : oracle database user password expiry automated report

Hi friends,

I would like to generate a password expiry report from oracle 11g database (as system/sys user) basically who’s account is nearing expiry date.

Let’s assume I have six environments and each environment running 7 databases.

Could you advise the best way/trick to generate this report? In automated way or on ad-hoc single execution/click?
Can oracle enterprise manager manage/alert this?

I was thinking of a SQL (select * from dba_users where expiry_date < thersold), pass this SQL against each database, from a batch file and generate report. But I’m pretty sure mine is from old school :)

I have system access to all databases and can schedule this on windows vista/linux/Oracle EM

Any help would be much appreciated

thanks in advance

The script sounds reasonable to me.  I would add that if the databases are on the same network as an email server or email relay, I would have the database email you directly using UTL_MAIL and DBMS_SCHEDULER.

This eliminates the OS scripts and cron.
