Change repository owner password in Documentum

If the Database user password used for the Documentum repository is modified, you can update it accordingly in Content Server by following the steps:

1) Stop the repository service(s) (and all dependant services, ie: app servers)

2) Go to $DM_HOME/dba/config/

3) Create a copy of the file dbpasswd.txt

4) Edit the dbpasswd.txt and replace the old (encrypted) password with the new password, as plain text (not encrypted)

5) Save dbpasswd.txt

6) Go to $DM_HOME/bin and run the following command: dm_encrypt_password -docbase -rdbms -encrypt

7) Open the dbpassword.txt file (created at step 4-5) and check if the password has been encrypted

8) Restart repository service(s) (and other dependant services)

9) Check the repository log if it started successfully
