We need ability to update DB password using command line in non-interactive fashion. (Not interactive shell)

We need to update our database account password regularly and in turn we have to update password in database configuration file datasource.xml .  This will be automated process in Wells Fargo and we need to be able to run dbconfig.sh command to update password without any human interaction.

Due to compliance requirements, we need ability to change DB password automatically and then update datasource.xml file with encrypted password string for update password using dbconsole.sh scritp in -console mode. We need ability to run dbconfig.sh script with password provided as argument and then update password instead of running it in interactive mode. How do we achieve this?

 

We submitted IBM support case TS018494395
