cannot test database


Derk Rembold (1635) | asked Sep 18 '13, 9:03 a.m.
Hi,

currently I am trying to configure the JTS database during the jazz team server custom setup step #3. Unfortunately it fails during the database testing with

The server was unable to connect to the database because the database connection syntax is invalid. Verify the syntax in your teamserver.properties file. See the Jazz Team Server log for more information.

The database vendor I use is DB2 and the jdbc location is //xxxx.boeblingen.de.xxx.com:48560/jts:user=rembold;password={password}; (I tried to use JTS instead of jts and left out ;)

When looking into the teamserver.properties files, I can see that there still exists derby entries, and no db2 entries. Not sure why this file is not updated correctly.

Any idea how this can be resolved?

ok, we found the problem. The problem was due to the afs system and its overlayed authorization system which is installed on our servers. db2 did not accept the passwords I typed in. They were ok for afs, but not for db2. So we have to explicitly take out the db2inst1 user from the afs authorization system, and then it worked.

 Hello,
ensure you update the correct teamserver.properties,
for jts : <server_install_dir>/server/conf/jts/

Also ensure you comment out ootb Derby entries.

See https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/topic/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/t_manually_update_config_db2.html

Thanks,
Eric.

Hi Derk,

The connection string you have seems correct. Generally, it should automatically update the teamserver.properties with the info that you enter in the jts/setup wizard.

As a work-around, I agreed with Eric's answer above to try to manually update teamserver.properties for JTS and see if it allows you to test connection.

Hi Derik,

The teamserver.properties file won't be updated until the test succeeds.
One thing I notice is you are using a non-default port number. (48560)
If that is the correct port is it possible that a firewall is blocking access to that port?
I believe you can tellnet to that port to test
telnet servername 48560
