Changing the HCL Workload Automation RFC user ID password

About this task

If the password of the HCL Workload Automation Remote Function Call (RFC) user ID is modified after the initial installation, the options file used by r3batch must be updated to reflect this change.

On UNIX® operating systems, log on as root to the system where HCL Workload Automation is installed.

On Windows™ operating systems, log on as an administrator and start a DOS shell on the system where HCL Workload Automation is installed.

Procedure

  1. Generate an encrypted version of the new password using the enigma command, located in TWA_home/methods. To do this in a command shell, type: 
    enigma new_password
    where
    new_password
    is the new password for the HCL Workload Automation RFC user ID.

    The enigma command prints an encrypted version of the password.

  2. Copy the encrypted password into the options file, which is located in the following directory:
    On UNIX operating systems
    TWA_DATA_DIR/methods
    On Windows operating systems
    TWA_home\methods
    The file can be edited with any text editor.

Results

Ensure that you copy the password exactly, preserving uppercase, lowercase, and punctuation. The encrypted password looks similar to: 
{aes}hyb/LQNyVzIf9oA8/xgY+CSqAuAh7+CvTT7HuDpdiu5YUAH0KJEHJtA=

If the encrypted password is not entered correctly, HCL Workload Automation is unable to start or monitor SAP R/3 batch jobs.
