The script changepassword.sh allows the root user to change the DBC, DATAMOVER, BAR, and BARBACKUP passwords on the Data Mover server using Data Mover 17.00 or earlier.
The passwords for the bundled DSA in Data Mover are updated using the changpassword.sh script, do not use the script that is provided with DSA.
The new password specified for DATAMOVER using the script is applied to the users BAR and BACKUP. When started, the script logs into the internal TD repository and changes the repository passwords. The script is part of the tdm-linux bundle and its location is determined by where the bundle is located. For example: /var/opt/teradata/packages/DataMover/16.20.12.00/changepassword.sh
If you previously used dm.job.production.password in the daemon.properties file to change the DATAMOVER password, remove it from daemon.properties before running the changepassword.sh script.
Teradata recommends running the script before installing or upgrading Data Mover. If you run at the script after Data Mover has been installed or upgraded, you must restart the daemon to make sure Data Mover runs properly.
