Wf Admin password change issue

Thu Apr 26 15:42:11 EDT 2007

Andy, I think you're right. The problem would be in the RFC destination because the password is there as well. We never change the WF-BATCH password. We have had issues with the WF-BATCH user being locked after a client copy and couldn't complete the auto customizing of the RFC destination. Our solution was to delete the WF-BATCH user and then run the customizing again with a user that had SAP_ALL. This created the WF-BATCH user again and the password with the RFC was in synch.

Hi Claude, 

did you set up the WF-BATCH user as a system user?  Check transaction SU01, in tab Logon Data.  In the field "User Type" it should say "system".  By declaring it as a system user no one is able to log on with this user id through the SAP GUI and the password expiration policies do not apply to it. 

In any case, to sort out your particular problem now, you will need to unlock the user id and you will also probably need to change the WF-BATCH password in transaction SU01 (this only if you don't remember the original password) and then re-configure the RFC destination through SWU3. 

You may need support from your Basis team as you probably will not have access to SU01 (specially in a Production environment).

Cheers

David

Hi,

We to  had WF probles caused by change in the WF-BATCH password.  

A job did not work any more and therefore WF messages begun to be severely delayed.

Hi,

If i am not mistaking, you should never change this password... The WF_BATCH user is a batch user only so no one can use it to logon into your system.

Can someone remind me what the issue is with channging the Wf Admin password?  I know in the past I did it and then got errors, probably to do with the RFC destination, but I can't remember what it was.  So whats the proper procedure for changing the wf admin password to avoid any issues? 

Thanks ... Andy
