Issue/Introduction

What happens if the id used to access DB2 has a password that expires (will the application run anymore) Is there a process to update an DB2 password that is going to expire? Or the only way is to have an ID with NON-Expiring password?

Environment

Release:
Component: WBVLUW

DB2

SQL

Resolution

It's best to have the non-expiring password. The password should be non-expiring for the Web Viewer connection's "User".

Otherwise the application won't work until running the ConfigTool to reset the Password to the new one and recycling Tomcat. Because the password is encrypted, it's not something that can be edited in the WVProfile.properties file.
