Domdsmc updatedb2pwd

Purpose

The domdsmc updatedb2pwd parameter updates the DB2® user password. The password is required to access the DB2 instance where the Domino® DB2 database resides. Data Protection for IBM® Domino prompts the user for the password the first time and saves the password encrypted in a file. The password is read from this file when access to DB2 is required. The command allows the user to change the password in the file in case the DB2 user password is changed. If you do not enter the old and new passwords on the command, you are prompted for them. When Data Protection for IBM Domino prompts you for the passwords, the password is not displayed on the screen.

Parameters

oldpw

The current password to change. You are prompted for this value if omitted.

newpw

The new password. You are prompted for this value if omitted. When you choose a new password, you can use 1 - 64 characters.

Valid password characters are as follows:

A-Z

Any letter, A through Z, upper-case, or lower-case

0–9

Any number, 0 - 9

+

Plus

.

Period

_

Underscore

-

Hyphen

&

Ampersand

A password is not case-sensitive.

verifypw

The verify password is used to validate the password that is entered for newpw. You are prompted for this value if omitted.

/CONFIGfile=cfgfilename

Specifies the name of the Data Protection for IBM Domino preferences file. The file name can include a fully qualified path. If you do not specify a path, it is assumed the preferences file in the directory where Data Protection for IBM Domino is installed.

The default preferences file is domdsm.cfg.

/LOGFile=logfilename

Specifies the name of the activity log that is generated by Data Protection for IBM Domino. The log file name is used for the current command and does not update the default log file that is stored in the preferences file. You can use the set command to change the default log file name that is stored in the preferences file. The command-line parameter can be used to override the default for one command run. If the specified file does not exist, it is created. If it does exist, new log entries are appended to the file. The file name can include a fully qualified path. If you do not specify a path, the file is written to the directory where Data Protection for IBM Domino is installed.

The default log file is domdsm.log.

When you are using multiple simultaneous instances of Data Protection for IBM Domino to run operations, use the /logfile parameter to specify a different log file for each instance. Using this parameter directs logging for each instance to a different log file and prevents interspersed log file records. Failure to specify a different log file for each instance can result in unreadable log files.

/LOGPRUne=60|n|No

Specifies whether to prune log entries. By default, log pruning is enabled and done daily. You can use the set command to do one of the following actions:

• Change the defaults so that log pruning is disabled
• Change the number of days log entries are saved

You can use the /logprune option to override these defaults for one command run. Note, when the value of /logprune is a number, the prune is done even if one is complete for the day.

You can specify:

60

Specifies that log entries are saved for 60 days before pruning.

n

Specifies the number of days to save log entries. The range of values is 0 - 9999. A value of 0 deletes all entries in the log except for the current command run entries.

No

Do not prune the log.

Changes to the value of the timeformat or dateformat parameter can result in an undesired pruning of the log file. If you are running a command that prunes the log file and the value of the timeformat or dateformat parameter changes, run one of the following to prevent pruning of the log file:

• Make a copy of the existing log file.
• Specify a new log file with the /logfile parameter or logfile setting.
