Title
Cannot modify or create any new purge jobs in AA 8.6.3.228 -
Description
Cannot modify or create any new purge jobs for AD backup, GPO backup in AA (AA version 8.6.3.228). We get the following message.
"An error occurred while attempting to save the purge settings. One or more errors occurred."
-
Cause
Some schedules the TimeZone data is not saved properly in the database and that can lead to this type of issue. This had been noted to happen in schedules that were created in an earlier version of Active Administrator and did not update correctly in the database when the TimeZone column was added to the schedule table. -
Resolution
Open the Active Administrator database in SQL Management Studio, open the tables, and select the top 1000 rows from dbo.tblSchedule.
Here check to see if any of the schedules have a blank entry in the TimeZone column. If so, edit the table and copy the timezone entry from another schedule which has its TimeZone set. If you see all values NULL then check the time for local server using below PowerShell commands.To get the list of valid values for that field, you can run the following PowerShell:
Use the Timezone for local machine and enter the value to table dbo.tblSchedule.
[System.TimeZoneInfo]::GetSystemTimeZones() |% { $_.Id } | Sort-Object
To get the value for the time zone of the local machine, you can run this PowerShell:
[System.TimeZoneInfo]::Local.Id
Close the AA console and open again, issue will be resolved. This issue will be resolved in upcoming AA release V8.7 defect ID 442776.
