Cannot remove this sync group because one or more databases are currently provisioning,

I have a problem with a SYNC group within my development Azure Database.
It been stuck in "processing" state last December and has never recovered.
I have since setup a new Sync Group to sync the data between my cloud database and my local database.  The new Sync Group is working properly.
It bothers me that the old one is still out there, and I would just like to remove it, but I get the following error message:
Cannot remove this sync group because one or more databases are currently provisioning, 
re-provisioning, de-provisioning, canceling sync or synchronizing. TracingId=fe9d220c-56c7-791f-ac0f-ea26989e02a1
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to delete the failed SyncGroup from Azure?

Hi jstevenson72,
How about using the DeprovisioningUtil tool? With DeprovisioningUtil tool , you can manually clean up all objects by running the deprovisioning utility from the same folder where the Data Sync Agent gets installed.
Besides any of the following can result in a failure to delete a sync group.
• The client agent is offline. Be sure that the client agent is online then try again. Reference : 
SQL Data Sync Troubleshooting Guide.
• The client agent is uninstalled or missing.
 If the client agent is uninstalled or otherwise missing:
1. Remove agent XML file from the SQL Data Sync (Preview) installation folder if the file exists.
2. Install the agent on same/another on-premise computer, submit the agent key from the portal generated for the agent that’s showing offline.
• The SQL Data Sync (Preview) service is stopped.
1. In the Start menu, search on Services.
2. Click Services in the Programs section of the search results.
3. Find the SQL Data Sync (Preview) Preview service.
4. If the service status is Stopped right-click the service name and select Start from the dropdown menu.
• A database is offline.  Check your SQL Database and SQL Server databases to be sure they are all online.
• The sync group is provisioning or synchronizing. Wait until the provisioning or synchronizing process finishes then retry deleting the sync group.
And for Azure issues, I would like to recommend you post the question in the Azure SQL Database forum at
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/azure/en-US/home?forum=ssdsgetstarted. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
There is also a similar thread for your reference.

  • Cannot remove a sync group and provisioning never stops

    I try to remove my sync group in Azure DataSync , but get a message "Cannot remove this sync group because one or more databases are currently provisioning, re-provisioning, de-provisioning, canceling sync or synchronizing. TracingId=cc4af9b5-f6c5-2ca9-9412-acbaee44f87b"
    My sync group is Sync Group ID: b9dfb07f-5415-487d-a6c7-c7caccf473b8_East / Subscription ID: 31e2bcf5-8078-4bf3-8898-ba771ea860ac
    And before I try to remove it, it has a trouble that Provisioning never finishes.
    The provisioning was adding reference new servers and the provisioning is continuing for more than 10 days.
    While removing the sync group, I had deleted all reference database other than the hub database, and applied DeprovisioningUtil.exe to the hub database.
    In the sync group, all databases were Azure SQL.  The sync group didn't use sync agent.
    The hub database seems to have no tables relating datasync like as "_dss" or "_traking" after I applied DeprovisioningUtil.exe.
    I had no more idea to do other than waiting, any other ideas?
    Best regards,

    Hi Kamiyn,
    Regarding to the error message and your description, it seems that you tried to remove sync group failed , I assume you only have one sync group, when you used DeprovisioningUtil tool, you should manually clean up all objects by running the deprovisioning
    utility from the same folder where the Data Sync Agent gets installed.
    Here is a similar issue about this error, you can refer to the post.

  • Firefox not responding, seems like other browser is hijacking inquiry, will not let me reset, states cannot reset because one or more windows are open

    when i type in a search, firefox says it's not responding. Although firefox still showing not responding I am taken to websites that I did not request. I tried to reset firefox but it said there is a problem because one or more windows tabs are open even though they are not.
    What is cloudnet? just one of the items that pops up on the bottom right of the screen during my search

    Getting redirected to unwanted websites can be caused by an add-on, or by external malware, or by a change to your connection settings.
    (1) Check Extensions
    (A) In Firefox:
    Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. Or if it's clearly crap, remove.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    (B) In the Windows Control Panel
    If there is no remove button on the Add-ons page, typically the extension was installed externally and can be removed through the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program.
    If you click the "Installed on" column heading to group the entries by date, you may find some undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some free software. Take out as much trash as possible.
    (2) Malware scans
    Our support article lists free tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. If you notice a pattern of search engine result links being diverted to unrelated pages, this can be a stubborn infection involving a rootkit, so try the TDSS Killer first.
    (3) Connection settings
    Normally Firefox piggybacks on your IE connection settings. You can change that (or malware might have changed it). To view and modify:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
    Change to "No proxy" and see whether that makes any difference.

    This:
    Current status for "stan":
    Error: ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
    says that your network setup is not correct. You need to resolve that first.
    As for Broker setup steps how about the doc or our Data Guard 11g Handbook?
    It's 3 DGMGRL commands so I am not sure what 'steps' you need?

    Dear Prasanna.N,
    First of all, please see the following error code;
    Error 12514
    http://ora-12514.ora-code.com/
    ORA-12514:
    TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
    Cause: The listener received a request to establish a connection to a database or other service.
    The connect descriptor received by the listener specified a service name for a service (usually a database service) that either has not yet dynamically registered with the listener or has not been statically configured for the listener.
    This may be a temporary condition such as after the listener has started, but before the database instance has registered with the listener.
    Action:      
    - Wait a moment and try to connect a second time.
    - Check which services are currently known by the listener by executing: lsnrctl services <listener name>
    - Check that the SERVICE_NAME parameter in the connect descriptor of the net service name used specifies a service known by the listener.
    - If an easy connect naming connect identifier was used, check that the service name specified is a service known by the listener.
    - Check for an event in the listener.log file.This is purely a connection problem and you can also use the +"tnsping"+ to see whether the Oracle can resolve the naming service or not. Use the naming service for the tnsping: iasdb_XPT.ind.rsa-ins.com
    Fix that problem and edit the tnsnames.ora file and see the results again. You may need to check the alert.log and the listener.log files for further informational messages.
    Hope That Helps.

  • Unable to remove a host from VMM - Error (2606) Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.

    I am unable to remove a host from my Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2. I receive the following error:
    Error (2606)
    Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.
    Recommended Action
    To find out which job is locking the object, in the Jobs view, group by Status, and find the running or canceling job for the object. When the job is complete, try again.
    I have already tried running the following command in SQL Server Management Studio
    SELECT * FROM [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_VMM_Lock] where TaskID='Task_GUID'
    I received this error back:
    Msg 8169, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
    Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.
    I have also tried rebooting both the host and the Virtual Machine Manager Server.  After rebooting them both, I still receive the same error when trying to remove the host.
    Here are my server details
    VMM Server OS = Windows 2012 Standard
    VMM Version = 2012 R2 3.2.7510.0
    Host OS = Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter
    Host Agent Version = 3.2.75.10.0
    SQL Server OS = Windows 2012 Datacenter
    SQL Version = 2012 SP 1 (11.0.3000.0)

    Hi there,
    How many hosts are you managing with your VMM server?
    The locking job might be the background host refresher job. Did you see any jobs in the jobs view, when the host removal job failed?
    If there is no active jobs in the jobs view when this host removal job fails, can you please turn on the VMM tracing, retry the host removal, and paste back the traces for the failed job (search for exception and paste the whole stack)?
    Thanks!

    Have you enaled TDE for any user database? if yes, and you do not want to continue with having TDE encryption, then you need to run the first command by changing the dbname to that user database instead of master.
    ALTER DATABASE DBName SET ENCRYPTION OFF
    You can run below command to see if any database are encrypted using TDE
    Select is_encrypted,* from sys.databases

  • Cannot remove Aperture synced Photos on iOS 8

    Hey,
    I had roughly 26k Aperture images synced to my iPhone 5 when I upgraded to iOS 8. Since the upgrade, all of my Events have been placed into a random order (which is extremely frustrating), the Photos app has become unusably slow and I cannot 'remove' the synced photos via iTunes anymore.
    Even though I have unticked the Aperture sync option in iTunes, the photos simply won't delete from the iPhone. It looks like I might have to wipe my phone clean and start again.
    On top of that, all of the Photos seem to have been merged with my Camera Roll pictures and iCloud backup attempts to backup all 26k images.
    Anyone else having similar issues with iOS 8 and synced Aperture/iPhoto libraries?
    Thanks,
    Darren

    Although I have not synced either Aperture or iPhoto images to my phone through iTunes, maybe there is a parallel with syncing images through iTunes from a folder. In that situation, I understand that you actually have to sync an empty folder to the phone if you want to remove the previously synced photos. Might it be similar with Aperture/iPhoto?

    I have tried a few suggestions, i.e. adding a pause before any ‘Update’ action (which didn’t help because the workflow past this action without incident); checked the data type being written
    to the fields (the correct data types are being written); and we even checked the list schema to ensure the list names and the internal names are aligned (they
    are), but we still cannot figure out why the workflow is still throwing this error.
    We located the area within the workflow step where it is failing and we inserted a logging action to determine if the workflow would execute the logging action but it did not, but wrote the same error message.
    The workflow is a Reusable Approval workflow designed in SharePoint Designer 2010 and attached to a content type. 
    The form associated with the list was modified in InfoPath 2010. 
    Approvers would provide their approval in the InfoPath form which is then read by the workflow.
    Side note - items created after the workflow throws this Unknown Error some seem to be working fine. 
    We have deleted the item in question and re-added it with no effect. 
    Based on what we were able to determine there don’t seem to be any consistency with how this issue is behaving.
    Any suggestions on how to further investigate this issue in order to find the root cause would be greatly appreciated?
    Cheers

    Hi,
    I understand that the reusable workflow doesn’t work properly now. Have you tried to remove the Update list item action to see whether the workflow can run without issue?
    If the workflow runs perfectly when the Update list item action is removed, then you need to check whether there are errors in the update action. Check whether the values have been changed.

  • Service template problem - Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job - ID 2606

    Hello,
    I’ve finally managed to deploy my first guest cluster with a shared VHDX using a service template. 
    So, I now want to try and update my service template.  However, whenever I try to do anything with it, in the services section, I receive the error:
    Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.  To find out which job is locking the object, in the jobs view, group by status, and find the running or cancelling job for the object.  ID 2606
    Well I tried that and there doesn’t seem to be a job locking the object.  Both the cluster nodes appear to be up and running, and I can’t see a problem with it at all.  I tried running the following query in SQL:
    SELECT * FROM [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_VMM_Lock] where TaskID='Task_GUID'
    but all this gives me is an error that says - conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier msg 8169, level 16, State 2, Line 1
    I'm no SQL expert as you can probably tell, but I'd prefer not to deploy another service template in case this issue occurs again.
    Can anyone help?

    No one else had this?

    Did not fix it.

  • The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information using Update Item action

    Thanks for the quick response Nikhil.
    Our SPF 2010 server is relatively small to many setups I am sure. The list with the issue only has 4456 items and there are a few associated lists, eg lookups, Tasks, etc see below for count.
    Site Lists
    Engagements = 4456 (Errors on this list, primary list for activity)
    Tasks = 7711  (All workflow tasks from all site lists)
    Clients = 4396  (Lookup from Engagements, Tslips, etc)
    Workflow History = 584930 (I periodically run a cleanup on this and try to keep it under 400k)
    Tslips = 3522 (Engagements list can create items here, but overall not much interaction between lists)
    A few other lists that are used by workflows to lookup associations that are fairly static and under 50 items, eg "Parters Admin" used to lookup a partners executive admin to assign a task.
