DB connections faulted on upgrade to 7.7.1

We’ve seen strange behavior on one of our gateways after the 7.7.1 upgrade. All of the db connections are faulted, as if the passwords had been lost. The condition is remediable by going to each connection and re-entering the password.

The only indication that we have seen in the console log is a message that is repeated: “DBCP datasource configured without a password”

Again, this is more of a warning since we have seen this in only one case.

What version did you upgrade from? I’m not aware of this happening to anyone else. If you go to “{InstallDir}\data\db”, is there a sub-folder called “faulted”? Maybe something happened to the internal database. Of course, in that case, I’d expect the problems to be more varied than just the database passwords…

Regards,

We just experienced something like this on 8.1.32. It took our gateway down (no communication through port 8088). This is the only thread mentioning this particular error code, so I guess I'm just adding a data point to the mix -- hopefully that's ok despite the much newer version of Ignition. We're working with support separately on what the root cause could have been.

We got the same two error messages repeating over and over, whereupon numerous read/write errors occurred with all our PLC'S. Nothing in the Ignition logs leading up to this event indicate anything out of the ordinary happened. No "faulted" sub-directory in our database directory. Our current best guess is this is related to a Security Intelligence Update for Microsoft Defender Antivirus KB2267602 (Version 1.411.59.0) on our gateway server, which occurred about 20 minutes before the event, because everything on the Ignition side indicates things were functioning properly. Still investigating...

Did you ever resolve this issue? I have a Ignition system that we've deployed that shows this error repeatedly in the log file. We are using MS SQL with Integrated security. I have three of these systems, and this is the only one that has this issue. It also has an issue that Windows defender keeps slowing down the system and it has to be rebooted once a month and I'm trying to track that down also. I'm running Ignition 8.1.32 also.
