Update the password in the configuration file

You must update some configuration files in order to modify your database password.

IBM Process Center, IBM Process Server, and Performance Data Warehouse store their database information in the 98Database.xml file that you must update with the new password. To locate where the password is to be updated, open the 98Database.xml file in an editor and then search for an entry that looks similar to the following:

<encrypted-password>7Yu5Kz3XaYL5aUjbWfISHg==:VyP9e8ytnTz6623hERR4lg==</encrypted-password>

This entry must be updated with the password value generated by using the encryption tool. Use the method described in the Encrypt passwords topic in the related links section.

Attention: Make sure the dmgr and the node agents are operating before you begin your password update. Once you have updated the 98Database.xml file with the new password, you must click Full Synchronize to percolate your changes to all nodes. And then, you must restart your environment to make sure the new password is activated in your ND environment or your stand-alone environment.

Table 1 identifies the locations of the 98Database.xml configuration file in a stand-alone environment.
