Changing the Studio database password

As described in the Installation Guide, Studio requires a relational database to store configuration and state, including component configuration, user permissions, and system settings. Before BDD installation, an administrator creates the Studio database with a corresponding username and password.

To change the database password:

  1. Change the password in the database server.
    For example, in MySQL, the command is similar to: 
    SET PASSWORD FOR 'studio'@'%' = PASSWORD('bdd');
    For specific details, see the database documentation for the particular database type the administrator installed (Oracle 11g, 12c, or MySQL).
  2. Change it in WebLogic Server.
    1. In the WebLogic Administration Console for the BDD domain, go to Services and then Data Sources.
    2. Delete the existing BDDStudioPool.
    3. Create a new BDDStudioPool with the updated password.
    For additional details, see the WebLogic Administration Console Online Help.
  3. Restart Studio.
    You can use the WebLogic Administration Console under Environment and then Deployment or use bdd-admin to restart the BDD Server.
