You can open CCM, click on specify CMS datasource and select the first radio button ‘select a datasource’.
Choose Oracle and pass the credentials for the existing CMS repository with the new password.
Restart CMS

Can anyone tell me how we can retrieve or change the BOXI R2 repository database account password in BOXI LINUX environment?

Thanks,

See haider’s reply above, it applies to any database used for your CMS database. You can’t retrieve the original password.

Only a poorly designed piece of software would actually allow you to retrieve a password. Usually the password is run through hash function and the hash value is stored. If you were to get the hash value you could not turn it back into the original password.

I have the password for CMS repository database. We need to change the password for that Oracle schema.

Now when the password is change in Oracle, we need to feed that new password for CMS repository database to CMS. Our BOXI R2 is installed on LINUX operating system. So, we do not have GUI to follow the steps that Haider had mentioned. How do we give the new password to CMS or in other words, which shell script of BOBJE stores the password for CMS repository database.

UNIX environment does not have CCM. However, I believe there is a command line equivalent. Can you look it up on the admin guide (the UNIX version)?
