These steps are assuming that you are continuing from steps in the previous section, which only apply to the OnBase Client and Configuration modules. As of OnBase 18, ADO.NET connection strings are used for connecting to databases except in the OnBase Client and the Configuration module. If you are changing user name or password information for anything outside of OnBase Client or the Configuration module, edit the ADO.NET connection string. For more information on configuring ADO.NET connection strings, see the Application Server module reference guide.
Once you have changed passwords, you must deploy the new OnBase Client and Configuration executables, as well as the Hyland.Core.GrabIcon.dll if you are using the OnBase Application Server. Depending on whether you are using a legacy version of the OnBase Core, you may also need to deploy the dmcore.dll.
Deploying new passwords involves locating the new executables and DLLs created by changing passwords and copying them over to where the old files reside, thereby deleting the old executables and DLLs and replacing them with the new ones. The new files must then be copied to all the workstations that require use of these files.
The new executables and DLLs are stored in a folder named NewKEKExecutables#, where # is the number of times that you have changed the database user name passwords for the selected set of executables. For example, if this is the first time you have changed the database user name passwords for this set of executables, the folder is named NewKEKExecutables1. If this is the fourth time you have changed the passwords for this set of executables, the folder is named NewKEKExecutables4. The NewKEKExecutables# folders are located in the same folder as the current executables (e.g., C:\Program Files\Hyland\ OnBase Client).
If you delete the NewKEKExecutables# folder, OnBase increments the NewKEKExecutables# folder number based on any folders that exist the next time you change the database user name passwords. For example, you change the passwords three times. You delete NewKEKExecutables2 and NewKEKExecutables3. When you change passwords the fourth time, the folder is named NewKEKExecutables2. If you delete all copies of the NewKEKExecutables# folder, such that no NewKEKExecutables# folders exist, the new folder is named NewKEKExecutables1.
When you upgrade your OnBase executables, any existing NewKEKExecutables# folders are deleted.
