R12: FNDCPASS to AFPASSWD

Hi Everyone!

EBS passwords are changed by the utility called FNDCPASS. In R12.1.2 Oracle has come up with another Utility AFPASSWD for the same purpose

Advantage is that you can run AFPASSWD utility from DB tier or from Midtier where as FNDCPASS can only be run from midtier side.

It prompts only the required passwords .

AFPASSWD [-c APPSUSER[@TWO_TASK]] [-f FNDUSER]
AFPASSWD [-c APPSUSER[@TWO_TASK]] [-o DBUSER]
AFPASSWD [-c APPSUSER[@TWO_TASK]] [-a]
AFPASSWD [-c APPSUSER[@TWO_TASK]] [-l ORACLEUSER [TRUE] |
[FALSE]]
AFPASSWD [-c APPSUSER[@TWO_TASK]] [-L [TRUE] | [FALSE]]
AFPASSWD [-c APPSUSER[@TWO_TASK]] [-s] APPLSYS
