Backing up the Password and Master Password Files
You should regularly back up the files API Gateway uses to maintain the passwords and the master password. In API Gateway instance’s home directory (APIGateway_directory\instances\instance_name ), these files are:
*config/txnPassStore.dat: Stores encrypted passwords.
*config/empw.dat: Stores encrypted master password.
*config/configPassman.cnf: Specifies password configuration settings.
*config/passman.cnf: Non-editable version of configPassman.cnf.
Always back up and restore these files together. If you change the name or location of the password store or the master password store, make sure your backup procedure backs up the correct files.
