The database update tool updates the merchant key. Updating the merchant key will re-encrypt all encrypted data (for example, passwords or credit card numbers) with the new merchant key in a WebSphere Commerce database for a given WebSphere Commerce instance.
Review the WebSphere Commerce Security Guide before changing the merchant key.
To start the database update tool, do the following:
- Open the Configuration Manager.
- Expand the host name.
- Expand Commerce.
- Expand Instance List.
- Expand the instance name for which you want to run the database update tool.
- Expand Instance Properties.
- Right-click Database and select Run Database Update Tool.
