    Change Oracle APPS Password : FNDCPASS
    Tuesday, January 23, 2007
    Register for R12 upgrade
    With Product Family ATG version H Roll Up 3 , Oracle Introduced New Option in FNDCPASS which is ALLORACLE to Change password of all Schema provided by Oracle Application products. These are basically below three category password
    --These are mainly schema password for products like AP, GL, AR (These are also termed as of mode ORACLE )
    --Password for APPLSYS and APPS (Same password for both schema) . This is also called as Apps Password (used during CM startup)
    --Password for account APPLSYSPUB

    How to change Oracle Applications Products/Schema Password including APPS ?
    As most of you might already be aware that you use FNDCPASS utility on Concurrent Manager Node.
    FNDCPASS logon 0 Y system/password mode username new_password
    Where MODE is SYSTEM/USER/ORACLE/ALLORACLE (Introduced with patch 4745998)


    Will ALLORACLE mode change other schema passwords like CTXSYS, MDSYS, PORTAL..,SYS, SYSTEM, SCOTT, Application User like AtulKumar .... ??

    No ALLORACLE mode will change only schemas mentioned in paragraph 1 and will not change passwords for schemas like CTXSYS, MDSYS, SYS, SYSTEM.....

    Is previous Mode SYSTEM/USER/ORACLE still available with FNDCPASS ?
    Yes

    How to get ALLORACLE mode in FNDCPASS ?
    Apply Oracle Apps patch 4745998

    What files to change after changing Apps Password ?
    You use FNDCPASS apps/apps 0 Y system/manager SYSTEM APPLSYS WELCOME to change Apps Password
    --Once you change apps password you need to change apps password stored in file wdbsvr.app at $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/modplsql/cfg

    --In some instances you might have to change in CGIcmd.dat at $ORACLE_HOME/reports60/server

    --You also have to change in any custom concurrent manager start up script (If you have any)

    Added on 14th August 2007

    --If you have configured E-Business Suite with 10g Application Server SSO/OID then after changing APPS password, update provisioning profile with new apps password

    oidprovtool operation=modify \
    ldap_host={OID Server hostname} ldap_port={OID Server Port} \ ldap_user_dn="cn=orcladmin" ldap_user_password={orcladmin Password} \ application_dn=" {The LDAP distinguished name of the application}" \ interface_connect_info={E-Business Suite connect info of the format, host:port:Sid:username:password}


    after changing Apps password bounce Concurrent Managers.

      Hi Atul,

      How to secure apps password ??
      apps password will be displayed with the following incidents:
      1) echo $1 or echo $* in any script
      2) workflow builder error issue
      3) while trasfering alert, we have to give apps password (how to decript the password)
      Please let us know in any other ways, users/developers can able to know the apps password in secured instance

      Thanks in advance, Shiva

      Hi Atul,

      2) workflow builder connection error will display apps password
      3) while transferring alert, it will display password (is there any way to decript the password)

      Hi Atul,


      how we can bounce the CM? and how many ways to do the same?

       
    • At 8:04 PM, Blogger Atul Kumar said…

      Use adcmctl.sh or Administer CM screen from frontend.

       
    • At 7:27 PM, Blogger naveed said…

      Hi Atul,

      Why do we need to have same passwords for both apps and applsys.

      And when we change the passwords for any one either apps or applsys do we manually need to make them in sync.

      Thanks,
      Naveed.

      Hi Atul I have a question for you

      Is it required to modify all the files that you have prescribed.
      I think it is enough if we run Autoconfig.

       
    • At 2:03 PM, Blogger Atul Kumar said…

      Hitendra,
      Yes Autoconfig should change all files mentioned
