ARERR 551 to the best of my knowledge is the native database server not available – meaning the SQL database that the AR System database resides on.. Something is killing your local database server or its client connection. It may possibly be even a network issue between the AR Server and the Database server..
Why do you suspect it has anything to do with the AIE which may be running a job on some foreign database?

Followed steps: -AIE Console -In the ‘Connections’ -> SQL -> Entered the SQL DB severe details like Server, Database, Username/ password -Click on ‘Test Connection’ ->’Get Result’ will appear -Click on ‘Get Result’, an ARNote will come up: SQL Rule Helper utility is busy verifying the Data Store Connection + Workflow Name(AL) Some workflows (guides) are firing and throwing this note. After sometime, no output and we can perform any other activity on User tool. BUT…. At the server end, the arerror log used to fill up with the following lines in every hour and finally stopped the server: Mon Jun 20 09:06:59 2011 : Action Request System(R) Server Version 7.5.00 Patch 006 201007180200 (c) Copyright 1991-2009 BMC Software, Inc.
