Problem conclusion

  •  Resolution Summary:
    
    A code fix is provided.
    This issue was caused by the Liberty server which hosts the
    B2BAPIs, and the CustomizationUI. During startup 4 database
    connections are attempted and the classes needed to decrypt the
    passwords were not available. Resolution was to update the
    database
    connection handling to decrypt the passwords for a successful
    connection.
