If you enter an incorrect dataStore alias, user name, or password, you get the following results, depending on whether the Content Repository Connector for IBM® Content Manager service is running:

  • If the service is stopped, when you save the service configuration information, no error appears. However, the next time you start the service, an exception is thrown and the service does not start.
  • If the service is started, when you save the service configuration information, the service attempts to validate the credential information immediately. In this case, an error occurs and the configuration information is not saved.
