Password Recovery

Replication Server Data Assurance Option 15.7.1 allows you to recover the da_admin password for DA server or DA agent.

To recover the da_admin password:

Start DA server.

On Windows 32-bit:

%SYBASE%\DA-15_5\server\instance\RUN_instance_32.bat -P

On Windows 64-bit:

%SYBASE%\DA-15_5\server\instance\RUN_instance_64.bat -P

On Unix 64-bit:

$SYBASE/DA-15_5/server/instance/RUN_instance_64.sh -P

Start DA agent.

On Windows 32-bit:

%SYBASE%\DA-15_5\agent\instance\RUN_instance_32.bat -P

On Windows 64-bit:

%SYBASE%\DA-15_5\agent\instance\RUN_instance_64.bat -P

On UNIX 64-bit:

$SYBASE/DA-15_5/agent/instance/RUN_instance_64.sh -P

where -P is the password recovery start-up parameter and instance is the name of your DA server or DA agent.

On start-up, the DA server or the DA agent generates a new da_admin password, which is written to the DA server or DA agent log file found either at:

$SYBASE/DA_15-5/server/instance/log/da_0.log

$SYBASE/DA_15-5/agent/instance/log/da_0.log

Note: Sybase strongly recommends that the DA administrator change the generated password as soon as possible.
