LDAP sync fails after CleanAlfPropTablesPostExec.sql/CleanAlfPropTables.sql

[idwright]

My ldap sync is broken with the error message:

2019-08-10 03:16:18,271 ERROR [org.quartz.core.JobRunShell] [DefaultScheduler_Worker-3] Job DEFAULT.ldapPeopleJobDetail threw an unhandled Exception:

at org.alfresco.repo.domain.propval.AbstractPropertyValueDAOImpl.getPropertyUniqueContext(AbstractPropertyValueDAOImpl.java:1293)
at org.alfresco.repo.attributes.AttributeServiceImpl.setAttribute(AttributeServiceImpl.java:175)

This is similar to the following:

Synchronization aborted due to error DataIntegrityViolationException: No property value exists for I... 

and

Unfortunately I didn't notice it at the time but looking at the logs this problem seemed to start here (multiple lines replaced with ... for clarity)

Any ideas on how to get this working again would be very welcome.

Thanks.

[angelborroy]

It looks like there are some properties missing in the database.

Try to remove them manually, something like this:

delete from alf_prop_unique_ctx where prop1_id = 2927643;

delete from alf_prop_root where id = 2927643;‍‍‍‍‍‍

I have solved this a while back by executing a JS snippet in JS Console, I couldn't find the final one, but I found the initial draft which might work from the first try or might require some fine-tuning first. PLEASE TEST IT ON A NON CRUCIAL ENVIRONMENT FIRST.

var context = Packages.org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader.getCurrentWebApplicationContext();
var SyncStatus = Packages.org.alfresco.repo.security.sync.SyncStatus;
var attributeService = context.getBean('attributeService', Packages.org.alfresco.service.cmr.attributes.AttributeService);
 
var ROOT_ATTRIBUTE_PATH = ".ChainingUserRegistrySynchronizer";
var STATUS_ATTRIBUTE = "STATUS";
 
logger.log(attributeService.getAttribute(ROOT_ATTRIBUTE_PATH, STATUS_ATTRIBUTE));
 
 
 
/* experimental stuff */
 
attributeService.removeAttribute(ROOT_ATTRIBUTE_PATH, STATUS_ATTRIBUTE);
 
attributeService.createAttribute(SyncStatus.COMPLETE_ERROR.toString() ,ROOT_ATTRIBUTE_PATH, STATUS_ATTRIBUTE);
 
logger.log(attributeService.getAttribute(ROOT_ATTRIBUTE_PATH, STATUS_ATTRIBUTE));‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Please, always be aware that the in-memory caches of Alfresco can still contain some values (e.g. mapping String value x to ID y) which CleanAlfPropTables may delete. The whole prop_value code in Alfresco never checks if the cached entries still exist before (re-)linking and will throw up if they don't. Typically, a restart is required / advisable after running CleanAlfPropTables to ensure caches are clear, or you should manually clear the caches via the OOTBee Support Tools.

Problems like this had motivated me to write an improved cleanup process, which also includes clearing any old cache entries, so it is safe to run any synchronisation processes afterwards.

[idwright · Accepted solution]

Unfortunately not the caches.

The script from Younes REGAIEG‌ provided a good start but more than one property was involved. By using the stack trace, either from the logs or in the javascript console, I could look up the names of the relevant properties in the code using the line numbers. (Easiest way to see the full stack trace is to not catch the exception from getAttribute)

This should be safe to run as it only does something if an exception is thrown when trying to get an attribute.

You may need to change the value of zone to match your configuration.

var context = Packages.org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader.getCurrentWebApplicationContext();
var SyncStatus = Packages.org.alfresco.repo.security.sync.SyncStatus;
var attributeService = context.getBean('attributeService', packages.org.alfresco.service.cmr.attributes.AttributeService);

var ROOT_ATTRIBUTE_PATH = ".ChainingUserRegistrySynchronizer";
var STATUS_ATTRIBUTE = "STATUS";
var SUMMARY_ATTRIBUTE = "SUMMARY";
var zone = "ldap1";

try {
    logger.log(attributeService.getAttribute(ROOT_ATTRIBUTE_PATH, STATUS_ATTRIBUTE));
} catch(excep) {
    logger.log("Missing attribute:" + ROOT_ATTRIBUTE_PATH + " " + STATUS_ATTRIBUTE + excep);
    attributeService.removeAttribute(ROOT_ATTRIBUTE_PATH, STATUS_ATTRIBUTE);
    attributeService.createAttribute(SyncStatus.COMPLETE_ERROR.toString() ,ROOT_ATTRIBUTE_PATH, STATUS_ATTRIBUTE);
    logger.log("Created attribute");
    logger.log(attributeService.getAttribute(ROOT_ATTRIBUTE_PATH, STATUS_ATTRIBUTE));
}

try {
    logger.log(attributeService.getAttribute(ROOT_ATTRIBUTE_PATH, STATUS_ATTRIBUTE, zone));
} catch(excep) {
    logger.log("Missing attribute:" + ROOT_ATTRIBUTE_PATH + " " + STATUS_ATTRIBUTE + " " + zone + excep);
    attributeService.removeAttribute(ROOT_ATTRIBUTE_PATH, STATUS_ATTRIBUTE, zone);
    attributeService.createAttribute(SyncStatus.COMPLETE_ERROR.toString() ,ROOT_ATTRIBUTE_PATH, STATUS_ATTRIBUTE, zone);
    logger.log("Created attribute");
    logger.log(attributeService.getAttribute(ROOT_ATTRIBUTE_PATH, STATUS_ATTRIBUTE, zone));
}

try {
    logger.log(attributeService.getAttribute(ROOT_ATTRIBUTE_PATH, SUMMARY_ATTRIBUTE, zone));
} catch(excep) {
    logger.log("Missing attribute:" + ROOT_ATTRIBUTE_PATH + " " + SUMMARY_ATTRIBUTE + " " + zone + excep);
    attributeService.removeAttribute(ROOT_ATTRIBUTE_PATH, SUMMARY_ATTRIBUTE, zone);
    logger.log("Removed attribute");
}

Ian Wright‌, thanks for sharing your solution!
just a small typo: in line #3 "packages.org.alfresco..." should start with a upper case letter.

[ainsof]

Thanks so much. This script worked like magic. Had to run it twice for some reason but so happy it worked. Been looking for a fix for a few days. Saved me from restoring an old backup.

Seems the issue was triggered by an incomplete running of the "propTablesCleanupJobDetail" scheduled task

[michaelzietlow]

Thanks you @angelborroy ,
Deleting the ID(s) from the db as you suggested cleared my errors... 

[shriyam_gupta]

Where and how did you run this cript can you provide with me with steps i am facing the same issue and trying to figure out the solution 

[shriyam_gupta]

I was able to fix this issue by manually updating the Id's to Null in table for coloumn prop1_id
found out the root cause of this issue was breaking of alfresco schedule job called PostpropCleanerDetail job
the system was unable to find any property values of ID's in prop1_id coloumn and was throwing the error, on putting it to null the alfresco created new prop1_id automatically and all the errors disappeared and ldap sync started working. Deleting these Id's works the same way.
