Alternative to deprecated exportarchive.sh

Organization Name (Required - If you are an Oracle Partner, please provide the organization you are logging the idea on behalf of):Wells Fargo
Description (Required):
We are currently on OAS 5.5 On premise, and in the process of upgrading to OAS 6.4.
During some testing of migrating code from DEV1 to DEV2 we discovered that the exportarchive.sh is no longer supported in 6.4 We received this error:
"***Deprecated!! Passing encryptionpassword on command lines is explicitly forbidden by Oracle Security guidelines. Use standard input."
We have been using this OOTB script to extract and export DEV code (bar file with catalog and rpd) to our target environments.
Is there a different method we can use to export the bar?
We expect to face a similar issue with he importarchive.sh as this script appears to also be deprecated.
We use importarchive.sh with biserverxmlgen.sh to parameterize our uploads to specific target environments.
Appreciate your thoughts.

We just learned from an exiting Oracle SR that the scripts (exportarchive and importarchive) are not deprecated but the encryptionpassword on the command line is deprecated. We are requesting a workaround for this.

Did you try:
./exportarchive ssi /theoutputDir < /path/filewithpwd
where filewithpwd is a text file holding the password to use to encrypt the archive

Thank you! Using a similar approach resolved our issue.

That did not work with FMW 12.2.1.4.0 and OAS 2023.

@User_OUBZX you should log an SR, but it works for me on OAS 2023. My file has just the password and nothing else.
