scheduledPublishUpdatesJobDetail threw an unhandled Exception:

I'm getting the following error in the logs from one of our Alfresco servers:

It's been doing this ever since we installed Records Management.  It was actually throwing a LOT more errors than this (including some every minute!).  I removed the Records Management module and all the errors went away except for this one, which happens on each service restart.  Appears I did not completely remove Records Management.  How can I finish the job and get rid of this error too?

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian. I'm not aware of how to go about uninstalling the RM module specifically, but check the below post for the best way to uninstall amps.
