Password synchronization run-time errors/messages

Potential run-time errors may appear during password synchronization.

You may encounter the following during synchronization:

Database Profiles allow you to omit the database password, thus making you enter it during entry to Partner Manager. You will be asked for that database password during the synchronization phase if that is the case. This is due to the fact that Partner Manager passwords are not the same as Database Passwords.
Database Profiles can be invalid for numerous reasons (for example: if the database user/password is wrong, server has moved, or the database is a different Partner Manager version). Some of these errors can only be determined during a database connection attempt, and are reported back by the database. Such error messages will not have a standard format; they will vary by database vendor and database version. It is not uncommon to see popup messages during the synchronizaton phase if Profiles are invalid.
As a database transaction (begin/commit) cannot be performed across different databases, it will be possible that some of the passwords synchronized and others did not, if an error was reported.
It is possible that no passwords were synchronized if you, as a Partner Manager user, do not exist in the profiles defined, or if all of the profiles are invalid.
