Each Oracle BI repository has a password that is used to encrypt its contents.
You create the repository password when you create a new Oracle BI repository file, or when you upgrade a repository from a previous release of Oracle Business Intelligence.
You can change the repository password using the Administration Tool in offline mode, or using the obieerpdpwdchg
utility. You cannot change the repository password when the repository is open in the Administration Toolin online mode.
The obieerpdpwdchg
utility is especially useful when you want to change the repository password on Linux and UNIX systems where the Administration Tool is not available.
After you change the repository password using the Administration Tool or obieerpdpwdchg
, you must also publish the updated repository and specify the new password in Fusion Middleware Control. Specifying the repository password in Fusion Middleware Control enables the password to be stored in an external credential store, so that the Oracle BI Server can retrieve it to load the repository.
Note:
If you are using the SampleAppLite.rpd
or SampleApp.rpd
sample repository, you must change the default password the first time you open it in the Administration Tool, for security reasons. See About the SampleApp.rpd Demonstration Repository for more information about the sample repository.
