Author: Vinoth Kumar Subramani

Here are the steps to change the Primavera P6 EPPM DB schema password.

Check the DB status:

SQL> select name, open_mode from v$database; NAME OPEN_MODE --------- -------------------- TMTN5O READ WRITE SQL> show user; USER is "SYS" SQL>

select username,ACCOUNT_STATUS,EXPIRY_DATE from dba_users; USERNAME ACCOUNT_STATUS EXPIRY_DA ------------------------------ -------------------------------- --------- PXRPTUSER OPEN ADMUSER OPEN PRIVUSER OPEN BGJOBUSER OPEN PUBUSER OPEN

Connect the DB as a sys user and reset the password for the following five P6 schemas:

SQL> alter user ADMUSER identified by Rw9Gkrqj; User altered. SQL> alter user PRIVUSER identified by Rw9Gkrqj; User altered. SQL> alter user PUBUSER identified by Rw9Gkrqj; User altered. SQL> alter user PXRPTUSER identified by Rw9Gkrqj; User altered.

SQL> alter user BGJOBUSER identified by Rw9Gkrqj; User altered. Update the PRIVUSER password in databaselogins.sh. Reference: How to Administer the Private Database Login Username and Password for P6 EPPM R8.x (Doc ID 1348248.1) Run the databaselogins.sh
