Issue/Introduction

Cannot connect to the Registry DB from Workstation.

Connection to the registry database cannot be established. Please make sure the database is running and the credentials used to connect to the database is valid. Data will not be saved to the database. This will impact your reports. Do you want to continue?  

Environment

All Supported release and platforms of DevTest.

Cause

Workstation does not have connectivity to the Registry database.

Resolution

Starting with DevTest 10.8.0 and later, these messages can be suppressed byuncommenting the below property in the site.properties file where the Registry is running:

lisadb.workstation.enabled=false  

The Registry will have to be restarted.

When site.properties is updated with lisadb.workstation.enabled=false, the Workstation will not connect to the remote registry database, and no warning message is displayed for the database driver.

Note that any tests or test suites run locally on the workstation (for example, quick stage a test or quick stage a test suite) will not be sent to the registry database without a workstation connection and, therefore, will not display in Monitor tests.
