Setting the Password for the Local Database Administrator

This topic describes how to set the password of the local database administrator on a remote client. It includes the following topics:

• Setting the Password of the Local Database Administrator by Default
• Setting the Password of the Local Database Administrator for the Current Run Only
• Setting the Password of the Local Database Administrator Indefinitely

Siebel CRM configures the password when you create the server database template that it uses to create the local database for the remote client. To configure the password of the local database administrator, you use the New DBA Password (NewDbaPwd) parameter of the Generate New Database server component.

For more information, see Running the Generate New Database Server Component.

Setting the Password of the Local Database Administrator by Default

If you do not specify a value for the New DBA Password parameter, then the Generate New Database server component sets the password according to the following rules:

• If the enterprise name contains 8 or more characters, then it sets the password of the local database administrator to the first eight characters of the enterprise name
• If the enterprise name contains fewer than 8 characters, then it sets the password of the local database administrator to the enterprise name concatenated with nnn, where nnn is equal to 1234

For example, it sets the password to ONECUSTO for a Siebel Enterprise that is named OneCustomer, or to SIEBEL12 for a Siebel Enterprise that is named Siebel, by default.

For more information, see About the Siebel Enterprise and the Siebel Enterprise Server.

To set the password of the local database administrator by default

• Do not specify a value for the following parameter:

  New DBA password

Setting the Password of the Local Database Administrator for the Current Run Only

You can specify a password for the local database administrator that Siebel CRM uses only for the current run of the Generate New Database server component. If you specify a value for the New DBA Password parameter at runtime, then the value you specify overrides the default parameter value that comes predefined with Siebel CRM and any value that an administrative view contains.

To set the password of the local database administrator for the current run only

• Specify the following parameter when you run the Generate New Database server component:

  New DBA password

Setting the Password of the Local Database Administrator Indefinitely

You can use an administrative view to specify a password for the local database administrator that Siebel CRM uses for indefinite runs of the Generate New Database server component. If you specify the New DBA Password parameter in an administrative view, then it is not necessary to specify it every time the component runs.

To set the password of the local database administrator indefinitely

1. Locate the record for the Server Manager server component on an enterprise server.

   For more information, see Disabling Transaction Logging.

2. In the Component Parameters list, query for the following parameter:

   New DBA password

3. In the Value field, enter the password for the local database administrator.
4. Save the record.
