Use the Xdbconnect utility to change the database passwords.
Xdbconnect collects Process Engine (PE) runtime (f_sw or its alias) and PE maintenance (f_maint or its alias) passwords, encrypts them, and stores them in /fnsw/local/sd/rdbup.bin. When PE needs to connect to database, it extracts the password from /fnsw/local/sd/rdbup.bin, and decrypts it to construct the connection.
Xdbconnect changes the password in the database for SQL and Oracle, and also changes the binary encrypted password file that PE uses.
For DB2, the OS users (f_sw, f_maint or their aliases) must change their passwords; Xdbconnect only changes the encrypted file with new passwords. The password entered via Xdbconnect must match the password for OS users on the DB2 server.
Xdbconnect displays windows for all database accounts with passwords you can modify.
/fnsw/local/sd/rdbup.bin is updated with the new password.
This also changes PE user passwords in the database.The passwords for OS users used as PE runtime or maintenance must be changed by OS users or the system administrator.
Xdbconnect displays windows for all database accounts with passwords you can modify.
The new password overrides the existing PE primary password. You can then optionally enter a new secondary password.
For DB2, you can run this procedure before or after changing the password on the DB2 server for PE runtime and maintenance accounts (Operating System accounts).
The password is encrypted and saved in /fnsw/local/sd/rdbup.bin. In a farm environment, you must set the password on each server in the farm. You can also copy the rdbup.bin once created from one server to the rest of the servers in the farm to avoid mistyping the password.
