Changing Job Credentials

The ProjectWise user name and password you enter to log in to a datasource and open the Job Builder dialog get stored in the job definition. If this user name and/or password changes in the datasource, or if you need to take ownership of a particular job, you will need to change the credentials that are stored in the job definition.

To change job credentials one job at a time, you can use the Change User Credentials dialog. To change credentials of multiple jobs at once, use the Search and Replace dialog.

Tip: Another purpose for using these tools is to replace the credentials saved in older job definitions (those created in ProjectWise V8 XM Edition 8.9.3.x or earlier) with the credentials of a user with non-expiring credentials. Otherwise, you will not be able to run those older jobs.
