Issue/Introduction

Getting the following error during IDM start up

Environment

Release :  Identity Manager 14.4

Cause

This is caused by IDM failing to connect to the Task Persistence database.

Resolution

Modified database to use the correct database name and make sure the user has proper database privileges.

You might want to retest External Database connections from vApp as mentioned here - https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?articleId=243483

 

Additional Information

We saw this issue when the database had too many connections from another source than IM.

Check with your DBA which system is using most connections of your database and troubleshoot (restart of this system worked - but this is not long term solution)

It might also need to tune up the max-pool-size as described:
