Environment
ALL
Resolution
Resolution :
Better recommendation is to setup the root user in the console before the upgrade and use that ID. It will be written out to the webfocus.cfg file.
Under : /ibi/WebFOCUS82/config/webfocus.cfg
From that configuration file we can verify the root user credentials. then proceed further with upgradation.
To create the root user account add the following lines to the configuration file
webfocus.cfg in folder /ibi/WebFOCUS82/config/
IBI_ADMIN_NAME=userid
IBI_ADMIN_PASS=password
Note: we can keep any userid and password .
And then recycle Tomcat for this change to take effect.
