Schema auto-update failed

[harmail]

Hi All,

As I have configured Alfresco 3.0 on my system, it was working perfectly fine, but when I have restarted the Tomcat, it gave me the following Error:

Please Help!

Hi…finally I've solved the problem deleting the alf_bootstrap_lock table.  I have just a few more questions, what process does create that table?? and why?? Does Alfresco upgrade automatically through web?? What can I do for avoid that problem in the future?? Is the problem just permissions business on C:\WINDOWS\TEMP??? What can i do for let working both Alfresco and McAfee???
Checking the log files before the Schema auto-update failed date, I've discovered that every day Alfresco's service is restarted automatically at 12:01 AM.

Thank you very much!!!

Hello, some other user also mentioned the same 'delete table' answer; but I don't have that table at all and I have the same error.

P.S. The table is not available in all environments, but this error is only on UAT.

[mikeh]

The db schema is only updated if a patch requires it - i.e. as a result of manually updating the alfresco.war file. Alfresco has no concept of auto-updating over the internet.

As I mentioned before, the problem is between MySQL and McAfee, not Alfresco and McAfee. Search the MySQL forums. Basically you need to configure McAfee to ignore .myi and .myd files.

Something on your server must be restarting Alfresco at midnight, as we certainly don't do that either. I suggest you do an audit of everything else you've got running on your production server, as it seems there's some unexpected behaviour going on which could effect any users actually using Alfresco at that time.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi…I really appreciate your help.
What can I do for generate that problem again? I know that modifying the schema it happens again…but specifically would you please give me a procedure…or share with me an alfresco.war modified for try to generate that exactly error…

Hi,
I'm trying to generate that same error reinstalling Alfresco…but I can't get it.
The last Sunday alfresco logged that same error, I just want to avoid that schema auto-update error in the future.
How can I generate manually that error??? My AV (McAfee) set some restrictions on C:/WINDOWS/TEMP, I've excluded that restrictions and the problem occurs again.
Thanks.
