Description

Issue:  I used the InternalDB utility to change the SCRIBE user password on the Scribe Internal database.  The change was successful on the TIBCO Scribe® Insight server, but the Workstation install no longer connects.  The following error displays when I launch the Workbench:
 
 Failed to initialize the internal database:  Error retrieving the product id from the db

Issue/Introduction

After changing the SCRIBE user, the Workbench launches successfully on the Scribe server, but the Workstation install no longer connects.

Resolution

The Workstation installation stores the DSN and credentials during the installation process.
When the SCRIBE user password is changed post-installation, you need to uninstall the TIBCO Scribe® Insight Workstation and reinstall the Workstation to store the new credentials:
  1. Uninstall TIBCO Scribe® Insight adapters
  2. Uninstall TIBCO Scribe® Insight.
  3. Delete the ScribeInternal_MS system DSN
  4. Reinstall TIBCO Scribe® Insight - Workstation
