UpdateConnection

UpdateConnection

Updates the user name, password, connect string, and attributes for a database connection.
The command returns an “operation successfully completed” or returns “operation failed” message. A failure might occur for the following reasons:
  • The database type is not supported.
  • The connection object does not exist.
  • pmrep
     cannot acquire a lock on the object.
  • One of the required parameters is missing.
The UpdateConnection command uses the following syntax: 
updateconnection

-t <connection_subtype >

-d <connection_name>

[{-u <new_user_name>

[-p <new_password>
|
-P <new_password_environment_variable>]}|

-K <connection_to_the_Kerberos_server>]

[-c <new_connection_string>]

[-a <attribute_name>

-v <new_attribute_value>]

[-s <connection type application, relational, ftp, loader or queue > ]

[-l <code page>]
The following table describes
pmrep
 UpdateConnection options and arguments:
