Change User Name and Password of WOW for new metadata system

When WOW starts up, it tries to connect to it's METADATA. The METADATA is where all connections, applications, and operations are stored. METADATA consists of standard SQL tables. The METADATA location, userid, or password are stored in a text file called web.xml as shown below. You can change these values when required as shown below:

<Apache Path>/Tomcat/webapps/wowXX/web-inf/web.xml

XX will be the version of WOW you are running such as wow70.

Right click on web.xml and open with notepad. Shown below is the XML Tags that need to be changed.

Typical needs are to change the PJ_SYSTEM_URL, PJ_USER_ID and the PJ_PASSWORD initial parameter values.

The example below shows the value "WOW_USERID" set the the userid used to access the METADATA, the userid MUST be a valid userid for AS400 or MYSQL.

<init-param id="WOW_Metadata_System_User_ID">

<param-name>PJ_USER_ID</param-name>

<param-value>WOW_USERID</param-value>

</init-param>

Care should be taken as the WEB.XML must be a valid XML document. Make sure you don't alter the < > tags accidently.

NOTE: Any changes to web.xml typically require a RESTART of Tomcat to be applied.
