GSM-45034: Connection to GDS catalog is not established

The GDS catalog database or its listener may be down, or is unreachable for another reason.

The error message "GSM-45034: Connection to GDS catalog is not established" means the GDS/GSM instance (Global Service Manager) cannot connect to its GDS catalog database (the repository database that stores the GDS configuration).

To adress this issue, verify that the GDS catalog is reachable, that credentials are correct, that the GSM is using the right connect descriptor or service, and that the GDS catalog database and its local listeners are running.
