SIM Account

CCyre — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 14:43:21 GMT

Hey there, When I setup my SIM server I used an account I shouldn't have and we then setup a simadmin account. I switched the HP Insight Manager service over to this account and restarted the service, I then also changed the database.prop file to reflect the new account. SIM is not working though. I get those com.hp.mx.database.DbVerificationException errors. Is there more places I need to change that account or is the password also stored somewhere in the prop file? I have to use this othger account not the one I originally setup with.

Well your answers half answered my question. I still had to change the ID in the properties of the HP SIM service and in database.props. Then run the password change to reflect the password of the different ID. Thanks though.
