Troubleshooting GAX

Lost Connections to Database

If the Configuration Server is connected directly to the Configuration Database (dbthread=true in the Configuration Server Application object), and the connection to the Database is lost for some reason, try using the Configuration Server Application runtime option force-offline to restore the connections.

This option, set in the Configuration Server section of the primary Configuration Server Application object, stops and starts connections to the Configuration Database. By default, it is set to false, since the connections are enabled at startup and do not need to be restored. If the connections have been lost, do the following:

  1. Set force-offline=true. This stops all connections to the Configuration Database, and puts Configuration Server (and therefore GAX) in read-only mode.
  2. Set force-offline=false. This restores all connections to the Configuration Database, and restores Configuration Server (and therefore GAX) to read-write mode.

This action, in effect, jump-starts the connections.

Warning
When you are swapping GAX in and out of read-only mode, do not change the Configuration Server Application object in any other way.
