Hi,

SAP system admin changed sap system password , it was connecting fine before they chagned the password, when they changed the password i went and changed in datastage sap administrator and in the jobs,
I am getting RFC Error: Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon) .
The strange thing is i am able to connect the sap system form the non datastage sap cleint with new password.

Is there any place in server i have to chagne the password .
is there any know issue with using special characters in password for sap client ,why i am asking this is they are using special characters in the new password.

Thanks for the help!

Try 2 things,
1) I am not sure if your DS Admin changed $SAP_CPIC_PASSWORD environmental variable value to the new password. Try that.

2) Regarding special characters in SAP related parameters, yes - we have faced problems when the SAP related passwords had special characters like "#". Compare the old password and try using similar special characters if any for the new password.

Hope this helps.
