I changed my JAVA, NOW, I have Database Issues getting to our SQL-Server over SSL

Last week, we had trouble starting our ALM service because our (Oracle) JAVA decided to update itself and messed up the path to the JVM.

changed my JAVA:

We resolved that, now, we have a “Database connection” error in our Wrapper Log.

 

INFO   | jvm 1    | 2020/02/10 15:41:10.770 | 2020-02-10 15:41 WrapperSimpleAppMain 
ERR com.hp.alm.platform.db.CConnectionManager 
Can't create a new database connection for 
url 'jdbc:mercury:sqlserver<strong>://almdb.mycompany.com:1433</strong>;EncryptionMethod=SSL' 
on getting connection to database server 
(jdbc:mercury:sqlserver://almdb.mycompany.com:1433;EncryptionMethod=SSL)

 

We use SQL-Server over SSL and it worked just fine before all of this mess from JAVA upgrading itself  to a newer build and changing the path to the JAVA.exe.

We checked basic connections to SQL-Server with PING, Telnet, ODBC, and SQL-Management Studio from the ALM Server PC.

Our usernames, rights and passwords are OK, WHY is it not connecting?

You need a cert for SQL-Server/SSL in the JAVA cacerts file... BUT it was removed with the old JAVA and replace with a "blank" one from AdoptOpenJDK!

You need to add the cert (for the SQL-Server using SSL) with the keytool command as specified in the install guide and it should work.

SO, the JAVA Update caused all of this:
1) path to java.exe changed
2) needed to re-point micro focus_java_home to new path (as long as no other conflicting java.exe's), or
2a) needed to install substitute JAVA (AdoptJDK 8) and re-point micro focus_java_home to new path
3) cacerts (that had the correct SQL-Server/SSL cert) was removed with older JAVA, so needed to re-import cert(s)
