In OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0 there is new BI Server utility called obieerpdpwdchg to change the RPD password from command line.
Follow these steps to change the repository password using the obieerpdpwdchg utility, and then deploy the modified repository in Fusion Middleware Control:
You can find the bi-init command from
Double-click bi-init.cmd (or bi-init.bat for client installations) to display a command prompt that is initialized to your Oracle instance.
Then, enter the current (old) password and the new password when prompted. The repository password must be longer than five characters and cannot be empty. For example:
obieerpdpwdchg -I E:\SampleAppLite.rpd -O E:\New_SampleAppLite.rpd Give password for repository: Admin123 Give password for repository: <new Password>
|
Note that passwords are masked on the command line unless you include the -C option in the command to disable masking.
Make sure to specify the password that has been set in the repository. If the passwords do not match, the Oracle BI Server fails to start, and an error is logged in nqserver.log.
