JDBC password property / JDBC location


Maureen Troendle (1633) | asked Jul 26 '11, 2:31 p.m.
I had a user having issues downloading code to a new workspace. I restarted RTC by running ./server.shutdown, killing one remaining process owned by rtc and running ./server.startup.
Now RTC is inaccessible.

On the Database Connection screen in the web client, I had this error message under the JDBC password and the JDBC location value above it was empty.

"The JDBC password property is set, but the JDBC location does not contain "{password}" to describe where the password should be inserted."

I searched teamserver.properties files (including old ones) at /data/IBM/JazzTeamServer/server/conf/jazz and found these values.

com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.location=//localhost\:50001/BCYRTC\:user\=db2rtc;password\={password};

I tried pasting those same values in the web JDBC location value but to know avail.
Can anyone help me figure out where to find the correct jdbc connection info. Someone else set this up and I have no configuration documentation and not a lot of RTC experience. I know the account looks correct and I think the db name also looks correct.
Is there a file somewhere I can search to find the correct details.

Using DB2 as database

correct syntax for the jdbc location in the web UI Database Connection screen is:
//localhost:50001/BCYRTC:user=db2rtc;password={password};

where 50001 would be port db listening on, BCYRTC would be db name, db2rtc is unix account for db2

password gets fed from jdbc password hashed value.
