Troubleshooting
Problem
When you try to upgrade the Maximo database to version 7.6.1.3, the configuration tool (ConfigUI) fails with the following error message:
The driver could not establish a secure connection to SQL Server by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. Error: "com.ibm.jsse2.util.j: PKIX path building failed: com.ibm.security.cert.IBMCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target".
The problem happens because Maximo 7.6.1.3 contains version 10.2 of the Microsoft JDBC driver for SQL Server. By default, this version has TLS encryption enabled.
