Sitecore.Analytics.DataAccess.XdbUnavailableException Message: xDB unavailable

Question

I am trying to map Sitecore 9.1 with MongoDB.I have Provided all required settings but still getting an exception.

Message: xDB unavailable

Nested Exception

Exception: Sitecore.XConnect.XdbCollectionUnavailableException
Message: {
"Message": "Operation failed: One or more dependencies failed",
"ExceptionMessage": "One or more dependencies failed",
"ExceptionType": "Sitecore.XConnect.Operations.DependencyFailedException",

"InnerException": {
  "Message": "An error has occurred.",
  "ExceptionMessage": "Keyword not supported: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/sc91instance2_collection?retrywrites'.",
  "ExceptionType": "System.ArgumentException",
  "StackTrace": "   at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnectionStringBuilder.GetIndex(String keyword)\r\n
}

My Mongo Db connectionstrings are:

<add name="session" connectionString="mongodb://localhost:27017/sc91instance2_session"/> 
  <add name="collection" connectionString="mongodb://localhost:27017/sc91instance2_collection?retryWrites=true"/> 

Please help me if anyone faced similar issue or anyone has some experience regrading this.

Answer 1

Based on the nested error message, it looks like your connection string has an invalid format. Your exception reads:

"ExceptionMessage": "Keyword not supported: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/sc91instance2_collection?retrywrites'.",

Have you tried without the 'retrywrites' portion in your connection string?
