Changing the user password for the exceptions database on Linux or UNIX

To change the password for an exceptions database where the services tier is on a Linux or UNIX computer, use the RepositoryAdmin command to update the connection and the RegistrationCommand tool to recreate a repository connection file on each engine tier computer.

Procedure

  1. On the computer that hosts the services tier, switch to the /InformationServer/ASBServer/bin directory.
  2. Run the RepositoryAdmin tool to obtain the name of the exceptions database repository:
    RepositoryAdmin.sh -listRepositories
  3. Review the current registration of the exceptions database:
    RepositoryAdmin.sh -displayRepository -reposName ESDB
  4. Update the user password for the exceptions database:
    RepositoryAdmin.sh -updateRepositoryConnection -reposName ESDB
        -connectionName connectionName
        -connectionPassword newvalue
    where
    • connectionName is the name of the exceptions database repository connection
    • newvalue is the new value for the password. Encrypt your password by running the encrypt command.
  5. On the computer that hosts the engine tier, generate a new repository connection file for the exceptions database. See Generating the repository connection file for the exceptions database.
