Cause
- The RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle database is not running, and
- The RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle application is on version 7.1.0 or above.
Prior to 7.1.x, the message was:
acm start
Cannot connect to the database. The watchdog will start the server when it can connect to the database
Starting with versions 7.1.x and 7.2.x the message is:
acm start
Job for aveksa_server.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status aveksa_server.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
Note that the output from journalcts -xe shows:
Cannot connect to the database. The watchdog will start the server when it can connect to the database.
Resolution
- Login as the oracle user
- Execute the below SQL statements:
acm startdb acm start
