Changing the mvf password in Oracle on Windows

To stop the IMPAX services, on all servers in the cluster, open a command prompt and type

stopall.bat

In the command prompt window, open sqlplus by typing

sqlplus dbadmin/dbadmin as sysdba

In the sqlplus editor, type

alter user mvf identified by new_password;

where new_password is the new mvf password.

Change to the C:\mvf\bin directory.

Type

passkey.exe -M SET -u mvf -P new_password

where new_password is the same password specified in step 2.

Export the passkey by typing

passkey -M EXPORT -k user_key

where user_key is the password used to import the password file.

On all AS300 servers and all Application Servers, reconfigure the ODBC connections with the new mvf password.

In doing so, keep in mind that some servers have more than one DSN connection to the MVF database. For example, an Application Server has two DSN connections: mvf and mvf_sql.

Import the passkey onto the Application Server by starting the Configuration Tool, switching to the Security tab, clicking Import Password, selecting the portable password file, and entering the password used to import the password file.

Import the passkey onto any Network Gateway, Archive Server, and Curator/CD Export servers in the cluster by opening a command prompt and typing:

passkey -M IMPORT -k user_key

On the all servers in the cluster, to restart the IMPAX services, type

startall.bat

To log into Administration Tools with the new mvf password, on the Database Server, open the following files in a text editor and modify the mvf password to the new mvf password:

1. C:\mvf\java\etc\jserver.properties

2. C:\mvf\java\etc\jclient.properties

3. C:\mvf\java\etc\jclient_simpacs.properties

4. C:\mvf\java\etc\jclient_impax.properties
