How to Change WebLogic Admin Password in EBS 12.2

Change weblogic admin password in ebs 12.2 environment by following the given below Steps.

In EBS Apps DBA Life whenever you prepare a clone of Production ERP System, It is important to change all critical passwords to make it different from Live Production Enviroment.

In this post I have provided steps particularly about how to change the weblogic password before delivering your TEST/Clone environment to Business Users.

SOLUTION:

If you are on R12.AD.C.Delta.7 and R12.TXK.C.Delta.7 or later
In my case I am on AD/TXK 16
Steps 1: 
Source EBS 12.2 Run file system

Step 2:
adstpall.sh -skipNM -skipAdmin 
This will stop All EBS Services ( except Weblogic Admin & Node Mgr )

Step 3:
perl $FND_TOP/patch/115/bin/txkUpdateEBSDomain.pl -action=updateAdminPassword

Confirm if all Mid Tier services are in SHUTDOWN state. Enter “Yes” to proceed or anything else to exit: Yes

Step 4:
Check if the command completes successfully and admin server is started.

Step 5:
Access WLS admin console and try using the new password for Weblogic user.

Step 6:
Now run Command: adstrtal.sh

E) Click Save, then confirm that the settings were correctly changed. Next, choose “Activate Changes.”
F) Select Myrealm after selecting Security Realms.
G) Choose Users and Groups, then Weblogic User. Then, type the new WebLogic user password.
