Error description

  • Customer will change manual the TPC-R password.With the tool
    changepassword.sh.
    
    1. run changePassword.sh
        when he ran changePassword.sh, he can get the following
    message.
    .
       "Create a backup file of the original properties file which
    contains
       unencoded passwords? (y/n)"
    .
    But when he replied either "y" or "n", he cannot get any
    response.
    Then he terminated it by "Ctrl+C". After that next sequential
    command
    (stopServer, disableSecurity, startServer, enableSecurity,
    stopServer,
    startServe) were completed. But password in soap.client.props
    file
    was not encypted.
    .
    2. run PropFilePasswordEncoder.sh
    .
    cd /opt/IBM/replication/eWAS/profiles/CSM/properties
    /opt/IBM/replication/eWAS/profiles/CSM/bin/PropFilePasswordEncod
    er.sh
     /opt/IBM/replication/eWAS/profiles/CSM/properties/soap.client.p
    rops
     com.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword
    .
    So he also got the following message.
     "Create a backup file of the original properties file which
    contains
     unencoded passwords? (y/n)"
    .
    This time, if he replied "y", password was encrypted
    successfully.
    .
    Then he suspected that changePassword.sh does not pass the
    argument.
    So PropFilePasswordEncoder.sh is not called correctly.
    .
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • The changePassword.sh script hangs on linux/aix because it is
    waiting for user response to create a backup file.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The fix is to add a flag to bypass the prompt as the
    changePassword.sh script already creates a backup.
    

Temporary fix

  • n/a
