PDB_OS_CREDENTIAL and external jobs
After introduction of Multitenant option, Oracle provided additional ways to ensure proper isolation between pluggable databases. PDB_OS_CREDENTIAL initialization parameter is part of them.

- External jobs that do not already have an operating system credential specified
- External table pre-processors
- PL/SQL library executions
