Websphere Appliction Server Not starting

Hi Team,

I was not able to login to the DS web console using the link
http://server:9080/ibm/iis/console/logi ... yForm=true

I had restarted the WebSphere application server, but looks like it was not staring properly.

The Start server log showed the error

Code: Select all

ADMU3011E: Server launched but failed initialization. startServer.log, SystemOut.log(or job log in zOS) and other log files under D:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\InfoSphere\logs\server1 should contain failure information.
SystemErr log showed the below 2 reasons.

Code: Select all

Caused by: org.apache.ojb.broker.accesslayer.LookupException: SQLException thrown while trying to get Connection from Datasource (java:comp/env/xmeta_defaultDS)
	
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: [jcc][t4][2012][11248][3.58.135] Connection authorization failure occurred.  Reason: Password expired. ERRORCODE=-4214, SQLSTATE=28000DSRA0010E: SQL State = 28000, Error Code = -4,214
What could be the exact reason for the Web sphere server ?

One more observation : The DB2 service (DB2 - DB2COPY - DB21-0) was in Stopped state. When I try to start the service, it showed the error :
Error 1069 : The Service did not start due to login failure.
Db2admin is the user name

So the Application server starting issue is because of the Db2admin user id ?

Unfortunately I dn't have DS admin to approach for help, since its a temporary server

Thanks
Sree

Either the XMETA or the XMETASR password has expired. Get a non-expiring password created then run AppServerAdmin.bat to emplace the new password into the database.

Hi,

Scheduled jobs are running and output files are getting generated.

Only when I login to DS I am getting the below error.
Error message:

Code: Select all

Failed to authenticate the current user against the selected Services Tier

Exception type: javax/security/auth/login/LoginException
Exception message: Could not connect to server [9.182.98.97] on port [9080].

Then maybe your credential password has expired. Somewhere ONE (or more) of your passwords has expired. Do the detective work and find out which one it is.

You mean the OS credentials ? I could login to server with the same credentials.

I have 2 DS Ids - wasadmin and isadmin, both mapped to 2 different OS ids. Both are not working..

Another important observation is, without giving the password also if I click on 'Login' in DS Designer, I am getting the above mentioned error :roll:

Hi All,

The issue got resolved. It was because password DB2admin user id had expired. DB2 services were stopped because of that.

I have reset the password and set it as 'Never expire', now the WebSphere server is running fine.

Thanks for the support
