Apps password change in R12.1/R12.0 just requires changing password using FNDCPASS and then running autoconfig. But R12.2 introduced weblogic in the Techstack, so we need to change the apps password in WebLogic also. We need to follow a few steps while changing the apps password in EBS R12.2. They are given as below
Steps to change apps password in EBS R12.2
(1) Shutdown the apps
cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME
./adstpall.sh apps/<apps pass> -mode=allnode
(2)Kill any remaining process
(3) Change the apps Password
FNDCPASS apps/<old pass> 0 y system/ SYSTEM APPLSYS <new pass>
We should not be changing the password from the database using the command
alter user apps identified by "new pass"
(4) Started weblogic server before running autoconfig to change the datasource.
adadminsrvctl.sh start
(5) Login to Admin console to change apps pwd for the datasource
a. Log in to WLS Administration Console.
b. Click Lock & Edit in Change Center.
c. In the Domain Structure tree, expand Services, then select Data Sources.
d. On the Summary of JDBC Data Sources page, select EBSDataSource.
e. On the Settings for EBSDataSource page, select the Connection Pool tab.
f. Enter the new password in the password field.
g. Enter the new password in the Confirm Password field.
h. Click Save.
i. Click Activate Changes in Change Center.
If you have SSO implemented, then additional steps will be required to change the change. In the case of the Access gateway, we will need to change the password in additional data sources in Weblogic
or
Use the below script post AD-TXK 7
perl $FND_TOP/patch/115/bin/txkManageDBConnectionPool.pl
When prompted, select ‘updateDSPassword’ to change the APPS password in the
WLS Datasource.
Or you can this the below script in a non-interactive way
perl $FND_TOP/patch/115/bin/txkManageDBConnectionPool.pl -options=updateDSPassword -contextfile=$CONTEXT_FILE <<EOF
$WLS_PWD
$APPS_NEW_PWD
EOF
(6) Shutdown the Admin server
adadminsrvctl.sh stop
(7) Run autoconfig on all the nodes
(8) If you have customization lost after autoconfig, you can fix it now
(9) If you have any DB links using the apps password, please recreate the DB link with the new password
(8) Start the services on all the nodes
cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME ./adstrall.sh apps/<apps pass> -mode=allnode
I hope these steps are clear and help you change apps password in EBS R12.2 successfully.
