Recommendation

We strongly recommend you to use BRCONNECT functions rather than the equivalent SAPDBA ones (if one is available, this is indicated below). The reason is that we will in future no longer develop the SAPDBA functions, whereas BRCONNECT functions will always be fully up-to-date.

Features

You can use this function to specify a new password for all SAP database users.

At the same time, the encrypted password in the SAPUSER table is changed. The work processes of the application server use this password to connect to the database.

Use this function rather than sapdba -alter_user.

You can use this function to specify the SAP System for database administration activities in a multi-schema database. You can then start and monitor database actions in the specified SAP System.

For more information, see -f crsyn.
