Is there an official/supported procedure to change the IFSSYS database account's password on Apps10, since it doesn't appear to be an option in the installer the way it was on earlier releases?

Answer

On Apps10, IFSSYS's password is changed from the IFS Middleware Server Admin Console rather than through the installer — log into the Admin Console, navigate to Common > Database, and click the 'Change password' icon. Two options are presented: one changes the password only in the Middleware Server's own configuration, while the other changes it in both the Middleware Server configuration and the actual database password simultaneously — normally you want the second option to keep both in sync. Changing this password triggers a restart of the IFS Middleware Server, making the application unavailable for a period, so this should be done during a planned maintenance window rather than during business hours.
