 Caused by: cybermation.library.plugins.CybPluginInitializationException: OA plugin initialization problem - TERMINATING
 

Cause

The Oracle E-Business Suite plugin is terminating due to invalid username/password to connect to the Oracle Applications database. It's likely the password has been changed on the Oracle Applications side.

Environment

CA Workload Automation Agent for Oracle E-Business Suite (ORCAGD, ORCAGT)

Resolution

Ensure that the user ID and encrypted password to connect to the Oracle Applications database are valid in the Agent's agentparm.txt file.
Example:
oa.db.accessId=apps
oa.db.accessPassword=6343B940CFCBC53E

Use the password utility in the agent installation directory to encrypt the password.
