Issue

  • Why Liferay application is not reconnecting with the database server?

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.0

Resolution

  • In case the database services have been restarted, Liferay would need a restart to re-establish the DB connections as the application server needs to enable locks on certain entries which get released at the time of DB service restart.

Additional Information

  • Restart activity is required when the data source is configured externally and only its JNDI name is set in portal-ext.properties.
