      - The datafilteringScriptTool utility
        The datafilteringScriptTool utility reads an XML file to populate the data filtering tables in the Unica Platform system table database.
      - The encryptPasswords utility
        The encryptPasswords utility is used to encrypt and store either of two passwords that Unica Platform uses internally.
      - The encryptTomcatDBPasswords utility
        The encryptTomcatDBPasswords utility is used to encrypt the database passwords that the Tomcat Application server uses internally. It is used to encrypt database passwords used in Campaign.xml and unica.xml. This utility can encrypt the Unica application database password. The utility prints the encrypted password in the command line.
      - The partitionTool utility
        Partitions are associated with Unica Campaign policies and roles. These policies and roles and their partition associations are stored in the Unica Platform system tables. The partitionTool utility seeds the Unica Platform system tables with basic policy and role information for partitions.
      - The populateDb utility
        The populateDb utility inserts default (seed) data in the Unica Platform system tables.
      - The restoreAccess utility
        The restoreAccess utility allows you to restore access to Unica Platform if all users with PlatformAdminRole privileges have been inadvertently locked out or if all ability to log in to the Unica Platform has been lost.
      - The scheduler_console_client utility
        Jobs configured in the Unica Scheduler can be listed and kicked off by this utility if they are set up to listen for a trigger.
      - quartzjobtool
        Scheduler jobs created in version 11.1 or older versions require to be updated to run on version 12.0. Use the quartzjobtool utility to update the scheduler jobs when the installer has not done this automatically during installation or upgrade. This tool reads environment variables from the setenv_quartz script. The Unica Platform installer should have set this variable automatically, but it is a good practice to verify that the JAVA_HOME variable is set if you have a problem running a utility. The JDK must be the Sun version (not, for example, the JRockit JDK available with WebLogic).
  - About Platform SQL scripts
    This section describes the SQL scripts provided with Unica Platform to perform various tasks relating to the Unica Platform system tables.
