vCenter Chargeback interacts with various servers and databases. It also stores information about users and
various components, such as hierarchies and entities. To ensure that the application and the corresponding
components are working properly, one must monitor the health of the entire system periodically.
vCenter Chargeback provides a few utilities and database management scripts that enable you to manage the
application efficiently.

Database Password Change Utility
vCenter Chargeback also provides a utility to change the password of the vCenter Chargeback database user.

hibernate.cfg.xml
file in the following directories:

database, you must manually copy the updated
hibernate.cfg.xml
file to each of the corresponding data
collector folders.
