    Good Day,

    I am being task to update data source (Console Operator) by refer to the article in below:

    Managing data sources

    In the UI, there are 3 column available which is BigFix database, Console Operator, and the Web Reports database.

    I only being asked to update username & password in Console Operator. 

    My question is

    (1) Do i need to re-enter the password for BigFix database and Web Reports database as well before i can "Save" the setting OR

    (2) I just need to update the setting in Console Operator and click to "Save".

    Hello,

    You've pointed to BFI's HCL documentation, for ILMT please check the doc below:

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/license-metric-tool?topic=sources-editing-data-source

    If you edit a BigFix data source, you can change the following values.

    • Name of the data source.
    • Host and name of the BigFix database.
    • User name and password of the user that connects to the BigFix database.
    • User name and password of the user that connects to the BigFix console.

    As you also mention WebReports section, it seems that you are using an old version of ILMT. Anyway, to answer your question, you will need to provide the passwords for all 3 users, in order to be able to edit the datasource.

    Thank you.
