Issue/Introduction

Looking for a best practice procedure for changing the autosys database password.

Environment

Platform - Windows/UNIX/Linux
Database - Oracle, Sybase, MS SQL
Product - Workload Automation AE 11.3.x
 

Resolution

Most clients either use autosys_secure to change the autosys database password and then restart 
or they use autosys_secure to generate what will be the encrypted string for the new password, 
stop the AE processes, update the database directly changing the password and then update the 
$AUTOUSER/config.$AUTOSERV files with the encrypted string for the new password (see DBAccess=)
and restart.
