WORKFLOW ASSOCIATION ERROR

James Whalen

I am receiving a "WORKFLOW ASSOCIATION ERROR" when migrating to a new workflow association. Upon first receiving the error, I backed out all changes to the new workflow and attempted a "straight" migration to a copied workflow to eliminate the possibility that there was a problem with the new workflow. I still get the same error. The current workflow for an important issue type is not working (no workflow buttons are presented to the user.)

The full text of the error is shown below. I want to know more about what integrity issues might exist in the project and what actions does the integrity checker perform. Also, we have never run this before and need to know if there are any risks of running it. What kinds of changes might be made etc.

There are errors associated with issues that are to be migrated to the new workflow association.
These errors must be corrected before the workflow association can be completed.
No changes have been made to the database.

To resolve these errors, please contact your JIRA administrators. Running the integrity checker from the administration section may resolve the problem.

Have you tried "Running the integrity checker"? It's found in the administration backend under System -> Troubleshooting and Support -> Integrity Checker.

You could also try to do a simple re-index. May help ...

We have a documented explanation/solution for this issue as mentioned in the link below:

(JIRA-IntegrityChecker-Exception.20121228.txt) Yes - I tried but it encountered this problem. I will attach the log when I can. I will also try a reindex (but these actions might have to wait until after the holiday week.)

James Whalen

This page could really use more detail. It does not explain the settings that might lead to this condition. Also the CLONE approach did not work for me. And running the Integrity checker has settings to chose from before launching - these would have been useful.

James Whalen

The solutions outlined do not work for me. The integrety checker fails and moving the issue fails as well.

Do you have any exception when opening the workflow page via the project administration page? Just to double check whether the workflow had been broken on the project as well.

Otherwise maybe you can firstly check whether the issue had a validate transaction id or not:

select id, workflow_id from jiraissue where workflow_id not in (select id from os_wfentry);

James Whalen

I tried the reindex but that did not help.

I have received a copy of the JIRA log from our server administrator. This is a warning found in the log: 013-01-02 10:52:20,901 http-443-11 WARN james.whalen 652x6211x1 1ukouxv 76.19.225.205 /browse/RIDMVDATABASE-825 [jira.issue.transitions.TransitionLinkFactory] !!! Issue RIDMVDATABASE-825 has no workflow ID !!!

James Whalen

The query returns no results. No records exist.

James Whalen

No exceptions on the workflow page itself.

May be this requires analysis on the actual JIRA database. You can raise a support request with Atlassian at href="https://support.atlassian.com%20">https://support.atlassian.com and provide with an XML backup of your instance.

I opened a Support Issue and they asked me to send them the logs for analysis. Took a while to get the logs they requested but when I sent in the log to support, they processed it with a tool called Hurcules. It presented me with a list of errors:

I reviewed the list it sent to me and took action on the item listed as ''Cannot get schemes for null project' Error During Integrity Check'. I followed its recommendation, which was to run a different integrity check (I had only been running the workflow integrity check.) Once I did this, I could rerun the workflow integrety check.

This solved the problem and I was able to change the workflow without recieving the WORKFLOW ASSOCIATION ERROR.)
