Review the WebSphere SystemOut logs,

Check if WAS service goes into 30 second wait status on restart then fails and that the logs indicate an inability to connect to the repository.

To recover you have 2 options.

2. Change xmeta password at the OS level and use the following commands to replace the xmeta database password:


<Info Server>\ASBServer\bin\AppServerAdmin.<sh or bat> -db -user xmeta
-password <new password>
