Planning Classic - Generate Password file

This section is applicable if you have a Planning Classic application and either Auto Import or enable direct deployment (for the planning application). Generation of a password file is required, and its location is specified in the Application Configuration Properties Tab.

To Generate a Password File

  1. Logon to the Planning Application Server
  2. Navigate to folder D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\Planning\PlanningAppName
  3. Run PasswordEncryption.cmd <passwordFile> (specify the full path for password file)

For Example:

Start Windows Command Prompt and execute following steps to generate Password file.

  • cd d:
  • cd D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\Planning\planningApp
  • PasswordEncryption.cmd ew_hp_cl_pwd.txt
  • Enter password of App user configured in EPMWARE for the Planning Application
  • Expect following result from the script: “Password has been encrypted and written to the file ew_hp_cl_pwd.txt successfully!”

Note

  • If the file path is not specified the Password File is generated at the location where this command is run.
  • Planning User that is configured in EPMWARE to communicate should be granted “LCM Administrator” role else during application import error: “Failed to authorize user for LCM migrations” will be thrown.
  • Ensure Application Properties for Planning Classic application for Password file EPM Instance Home are accurate.
