Error message: SRV0044E

This error occurs when the password for the Db2® user ID account for which IBM Spectrum Control is installed under is changed.

Problem

The GUI will not start and an error occurs in the log:

PM SRV0044E: Unable to connect to repository database.  Please ensure that
the repository database is up and  running.  Connection authorization failure
occurred.    Reason: password invalid.

Action

To change the Db2 user ID password, follow these steps:

From a command prompt, change to the directory where the file repository.config resides in the IBM Spectrum Control installation path. For example on Windows:
```
<installation_dir>\data\config
```

Run the following command for the Data server:

java -classpath "<installation_dir>\data\server\lib\TSRMsrv.zip"  
com.tivoli.itsrm.repository.Transform  
-p <new_db2userid_password> repository.config

Make sure the Device server is running. Run the following commands for the Device server:
```
cd <installation_dir>\device\bin\<platform>
setenv
srmcp -u <user_ID> -p <password> ConfigService setPw   
<new_password>
```
Where <new_password> is the new password. This sets the Db2 user ID password (not the Db2 administrator password).
Stop and then restart IBM Spectrum Control - Data server from the Windows Services window.
Restart IBM® WebSphere® Application Server V6 - Device server from the Windows Services window.
Start the IBM Spectrum Control GUI.
