Changing the Credentials for a Database User Account

When you install

B2B Data Exchange

, you specify a user name and a user password for the user account of the

B2B Data Exchange

repository database. If you are running the Dashboard and Reports component, you also specify a user name and a user password for the operational data store user account.

Perform the following steps if you change the credentials for a database user account after you install

B2B Data Exchange

. Perform only the steps that are relevant to the changes that you are making. If you are not running the Dashboard and Reports component, skip the steps that are only relevant to this component.

Stop the

B2B Data Exchange

services and close the Operation Console.

Verify that the PowerCenter Integration Service is not running any

B2B Data Exchange

workflows.

If you are running the Dashboard and Reports component, and you are changing credentials for the

B2B Data Exchange

repository or for the operational data store user account, use the PowerCenter Workflow Manager to update the credentials in the following connections:

For the

B2B Data Exchange

repository, update the DX_REPO connection.

For the operational data store, update the DX_ODS connection.

If you are changing a password, perform the following steps:

Run the password encryption utility and enter the new password in the following syntax:

On Windows operating systems:

InstallationDir>\dx-tools\dxpasswd.bat -p <NewPassword>

On UNIX operating systems:

InstallationDir>/dx-tools/dxpasswd.sh -p <NewPassword>

The password encryption utility encrypts the password and displays an encrypted string. For example,

-->ywo+o3cw8+O3iLdlhPprW2YA==
<--

Copy the encrypted string without the

--><--

indicators to the clipboard.

Open both copies of the

dx-configuration.properties

file from the following locations in a text editor:

<DXInstallationDir>/DataExchange/tomcat/shared/classes/

<DXInstallationDir>/conf/

In both copies of the

dx-configuration.properties

file, perform the following steps:

Search for the text that is relevant to the changes that you are making:

B2B Data Exchange

repository:

dx.jdbc.username=<CurrentUsername>

dx.jdbc.password=<CurrentPassword>

Operational data store:

dx.dashboard.jdbc.username=<CurrentUsername>

dx.dashboard.jdbc.password=<CurrentPassword>

Replace the relevant value with the new value. If you are replacing a password, enter the encrypted string.

Save and close the files.

The content in both copies of the

dx-configuration.properties

file must be identical.

Start the

B2B Data Exchange

Operation Console.

If you are changing the credentials for the operational data store user account, perform the following steps:

In the Navigator click

Administration

System Properties

Change the values of the

dx.dashboard.jdbc.username

and the

dx.dashboard.jdbc.password

properties to the new values. For the password, enter the encrypted string.

Verify that the PowerCenter Integration Service is running.

Start the

B2B Data Exchange

Server service.

If you are running the Dashboard and Reports component, perform the following steps to schedule the

B2B Data Exchange

operational data store loader workflow:

In PowerCenter Workflow Manager, expand the folder where the operational data store loader workflow is located and then right-click

DX_ETL

Select

Schedule

from the menu and wait until PowerCenter Workflow Manager schedules and runs the workflow.
