Changing DB2 Alphablox data source user name and password

The user name and password of data sources that are created on the DB2® Alphablox for the Dashboard Client can be changed using the DB2 Alphablox administrative console.

During the installation of the Dashboard Client using the WebSphere® Business Monitor Launchpad, two data sources are created in DB2 Alphablox, named <Historical_DB_Name> (Default name is HISTORY) and <Historical_DB_Name>_Cube. You can change the default user name and password for the first data source while the second data source (a relational data source) has no user name and password properties to be changed. To Change the user name and password of the <Historical_DB_Name> data source using the DB2 Alphablox administrative console:
  1. In the DB2 Alphablox administrative console, select the Administration tab.
  2. Click Data Sources.
  3. From the Data sources list, select the data source named <Historical_DB_Name> and then click Edit. The default data source name is HISTORY unless you have used a different name for the Historical database, then the data source will have the same different name.
  4. In the data sources properties, change the value of the Default Username and Default Password fields with the new values you want to set.
  5. Click Save.
