Synchronizing Oracle BI Administrator Password Changes

The Oracle BI Administrator with username "Administrator" is a special user defined in the BI repository (rpd). If you have set the Scheduler Administrator account to match the credentials of the Oracle BI Administrator account, then each time the password for user Administrator is changed in the rpd, you must synchronize this change:

• Reset the password for the Scheduler Administrator using either Job Manager or the schconfig utility to match the password change for the Oracle BI Administrator account. For more information on setting the BI Scheduler password using Job Manager or the schconfig utility, refer to the chapter on configuring BI Scheduler in the Oracle Business Intelligence Infrastructure Installation and Configuration Guide.
• Update the credential stored in the BI Presentation Services Credential Store under the alias admin. If you have multiple instances of BI Presentation Services in your Oracle BI deployment, then you must update the credential store for each BI Presentation Services instance to reflect this credential change. For more information on adding the BI Scheduler Administrator credentials to the BI Presentation Services Credential Store refer to the chapter on configuring BI Scheduler in the Oracle Business Intelligence Infrastructure Installation and Configuration Guide.

If you change the Oracle BI Administrator password, then the BI Publisher application integration parameters of for BI Administrator username and password must be changed:

• Log in to BI Publisher as administrator. In the Admin tab of the BI Publisher application, select Integration - Oracle BI Presentation Services. In the Admin Password fields, enter the new password that was set for Oracle BI Administrator.
• If you are using the BI Server as a data source for BI Publisher, then in the Admin tab of the BI Publisher application, select JDBC Data Sources. In the Username field, enter the new password that was set for Oracle BI Administrator.
• If you are using BI Server as the Security Model in BI Publisher, then in the Admin tab of the BI Publisher application, select Security Configuration. In the Username field, enter the new password that was set for Oracle BI Administrator.
