Database configuration is in progress message starting Maximo. Start fails

java.lang.Exception : Database Configuration is in process . ConfigDB and RestoreFromBackup must complete before MXServer can be booted .

Resolving the problem

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.
