Your company security policy may require that you change database user passwords frequently. When you change database user passwords, you must update connections in the ILM repository.
You can edit the connection manually. Or, you can use an SQL script to update passwords in the ILM repository without logging in to the ILM application. Use the script to change the password for the administration, production application, and staging database users and for the optimized file target. The script is available as a batch file or a shell file and is located in the optional directory of the ILM installation.
The script provides a more efficient option to update the ILM repository when company policy requires you to update database user passwords on a regular basis. For example, you must change database user passwords every 20 days.
