Unable to Configure Event Database in vRealize Operations View Broker Agent

Share on:

I was in the process of getting vRealize for Horizon configured, and as I was going through the broker agent configuration for the life of me I couldn’t get the eventdb portion to work. Everytime i entered in the user name and password, I would receive the following error. FAILED (Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 88.)

I knew it wasn’t a password issue as I was able to logon to SQL Manager with no issue, and the Horizon View EventsDB was working fine, so I went on a google search to try to hunt through logs. SQL Server was reporting i was entering the wrong password which made me think. In past issues some applications haven’t like certain characters in passwords.

I came across this blog http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2030610/password-limitations-in-sql-server-and-mysql

So in the configuration page i entered in my password as “password” and voila it worked!
