Shareplex DB user ID / Password changed and Activation could not connect to the DB.
1. Change the password back to original.
2, Run Ora_chpwd utility. Steps below:
Shutdown Shareplex
Run ora_chpwd utility from proddir/bin directory.
Activate the config.

The second line has encrypted password and the third line has the name of the SharePlex user that makes connections to the database.
