Hi @Cintia Ogura,

while trying to create an blackout event for one of our servers I got following error.

I found a technote, which suggested to modify the LIBPATH in some addons/job-scheduler, but the error does not change. What information should I save, or what can be done to fix this issue in DMC 3.13.1?

Hello Roland,

Question, are you using V3.1.13 or V3.1.13.1?

In your post you said 3.13.1, so I am not sure exactly the DMC version or OS that you are using.

If you are using V3.1.13.1, please create a case so I can investigate further.

If you are using V3.1.13, please upgrade your DMC to the latest V3.1.13.1, as this is a known issue in V3.1.13 (that's why we released the new version after a few days).

Hi @Cintia Ogura

sorry about the late reply. I was only today able to check at the customer. Well it is already version 3.1.13.1 (20250204-092628) Enterprise.

So I have to raise a ticket then.

Cheers

Roland

Hello Roland,

Thank you for creating the case, I checked the collector files and the job server is not able to connect to the repository database because of the following error: SQL30082N Security processing failed with reason "17".

We do not support AUTHENTICATION TYPE = SERVER_ENCRYPT anymore.

Please follow the instructions from the following link:

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/received-sql30082n-rc17-error-when-server-has-authentication-type-serverencrypt

Edit the repository database and click on save to save the new information, then restart DMC.

I asked the case owner to update the case, but I am also posting here in case other people hits the same issue as I am seeing several customers opening similar cases.

I hope that helps!
