Hi Anand,

the .dbc file is actually the database connector descriptor file used to connect to database and this file is default located in $FND_TOP/secure directory, this file is quite important as whenever any program likes to connect to database like forms it uses dbc file where teh Guest_user_pwd is there when the guest user connect it does not allow it to directly connect ot to the database but it first connect goes via this file and cross verify teh password of the guest which is kept in this file.

and the wdbsvr.app is the password file of your apps means if you want to modify your apps password tehn you can make changes in this file.

I think if any other explaination is there the do please comment on this

Thanks & Regards
