When starting a new CA Identity Management (IDM) environment, the following error appears in the logs:
Users may also see errors related to NVARCHAR2 data types when attempting to recreate the database:
Identity Suite, Identity Governance, Identity Manager.
14.5.x, 15.x
The error is typically caused by a configuration mismatch in the Workpoint property files where the database provider is incorrectly set to oracle despite using MSSQL Server. This leads to the system attempting to call Oracle-specific stored procedures or use Oracle-specific data types (like NVARCHAR2) on an MSSQL database.
To resolve this issue, ensure the Workpoint configuration correctly identifies the database provider as SQL Server.
workpoint-server.properties file in your IDM configuration directory.workpoint.db.provider property. Change it from oracle to mssql (or the appropriate value for SQL Server):true temporarily:EXECUTE permissions on the Workpoint tables and the authority to create stored procedures.
