BMXAA6454E - Database configuration is in process. The ConfigDB and RestoreFromBackup actions must complete before the Maximo server can start.

If you restart the server while an action is being performed on the database, the server restart may fail. You will see a message similar to the following in the SystemOut log files: "java.lang.Exception: BMXAA6454E - Database configuration is in process.

The ConfigDB and RestoreFromBackup action s must complete before the Maximo server can start.



 Or sometime It is possible for configdb to leave a flag set, which can stop Maximo from starting.

Run the following SQL
select * from MAXVARS where varname='CONFIGURING';
Check the VARVALUE returned. It will be a '1' to signify that configdb is running . If it is not, then do not continue and call into support to report the error.
update MAXVARS set varvalue='0' where varname='CONFIGURING';
This will reset the flag that signifies configdb to be running.

Maximo should now start.
