Thanks stefanh for your response on this. We found root cause and this was due to incorrect custom properties file.

I think in 16.1 the name of the parameter in custom.properties changed. See

forum.appian.com/.../Configuring_Relational_Databases.html

For customers upgrading from 7.11 or earlier, the name of the property that was conf.data.primary.datasource was changed to conf.data.APPIAN_DATA_SOURCE in version 16.1 and you must adjust your version of custom.properties to reflect this.
