Updating the TIP Windows service for "tipadmin" after a password change

Question & Answer


Question

What is the procedure to update the Windows service for Tivoli Integrated Portal after the password for the primary admin user (usually "tipadmin") has been changed?

Answer

  1. Stop the Windows service.
  2. Open the Windows Commandline (as administrator).
  3. Change directories to <TIP HOME>/bin
  4. Execute:
    WASService.exe -remove "V2.2_TIPProfile_Port_16310"
  5. Execute:
    WASService.exe -add "V2.2_TIPProfile_Port_16310" -serverName server1 -profilePath "<TIP HOME>\profiles\TIPProfile" -stopArgs "-username tipadmin -password <tipadmin password>" -encodeParams

    Include the double-quotes where specified in the above example.
    Replace "<TIP HOME>" with the literal path for the TIP installation.
    Replace "<tipadmin password>" with the new tipadmin password.
  6. Open the Windows Services control panel and locate the newly created service from step 5. Right click the service and choose "Properties". Copy the "service name".

  7. Execute:
    sc config "<service name>" DisplayName= "Tivoli Integrated Portal - V2.2_TIPProfile_Port_16310"

    Replace "<service name>" with name copied in step 6. Use double quotes around the service name.
  8. Start the new Windows service.
