Changing the Table Owner (DBO) and Password

---

The Siebel Database Server installation script also creates a database Table Owner (DBO) account used to modify the Siebel database tables. The default user ID and password for this account are SIEBEL and SIEBEL (case-sensitive).

The Table Owner is used to reference table names when SQL statements are generated (for example, SELECT * FROM SIEBEL.S_APP_VER). The Table Owner password is used only when the schema is changed (this occurs with the Generate Triggers server component).

By default, Siebel applications store the Table Owner, but not the Table Owner password. This is because the Table Owner password is not required for Siebel applications to work. Therefore, changing the Table Owner password only has to be done at the database level, not within Siebel applications.

To change the Table Owner and password on Windows

Change the Table Owner in Enterprise Manager.
Log into a Siebel employee application, such as Siebel Call Center.
Choose View > Site Map > Server Administration > Enterprise Configuration.
Click the Enterprise Parameters tab.
In the Enterprise Parameters list, locate the Table Owner parameter.
In the Current Value field, type in the new Table Owner value, and then click Save.
Change the password in the database.

For more information on changing passwords, refer to your RDBMS documentation.

Restart the Siebel Server.
