Hello Jose,

try to change properties in the tess-db-cfg.xml to

<property name="hibernate.connection.password">plaintext_password</property>

<property name="plainTextPasswords">true</property>

and it could help to clear the OSGI cache as described here, https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?articleId=100299 

Regards 

Zdenek

We tried putting a new password and the true plain text in tess-db-cfg.xml but it stays in plain text and doesnt start with the same errors. We also tried to clear the osgi cache to no avail.
We have a postgres 9.6.2 db that is on the same server as the EM, only on a different directory. This is a standalone installation.

I also agree with clearing your OSGi cache after an update. Let us know if it clears those messages. The messages I saw in your log would point to the cache not matching the latest versions from 10.8, especially if you did an in-place upgrade vs side-by-side upgrade (upgrading from old into a new directory).

10.8 no longer comes with PostgreSQL so you will need to provide that going forward (v13 works fine). If you need to move your existing data from the database, you can backup/export your data using pgAdmin or the backup script provided in APM's install directory.

Hello Jose,

please check the Java version you are using to start the EM.  

I have a 10.8 OnPrem platform running on OpenJDK 11.0.18.. so try first to upgrade the JVM

In the shared log, I found the following error:

2/27/24 04:00:19.157 PM CST [INFO] [main] [com.wily.apm.model.SpringAppContext] SpringAppContext initialization, logging configured with '/home/admingpv/apm/./config/log4j.properties'

We would try the updating java thing, but after we applied the hotfix84, it updates java to 1.8.0.322 and as i know, thats the minimun java version for apm 10.8 (our goal). Is there a guide to change the java or update it after we put the hotfix?
