Hi all
I have a serious problem with a farm of a customer.
The
customer requested to restore an SSP from production enviroment to test
enviroment. In test enviroment an identical SSP was already present.
Customer requested to overwrite it.
Using the GUI I started a
restore job, using the backup of the night done with a scheduled stsadm
script that save all the SSP of the farm. The restore run for a while,
at a certain point it gave this error:
Object SSP_NAME failed in
event OnRestore. For more information, see the error log located in the
backup directory. TimeoutException: Timed out waiting for Shared
Services provisioning jobs to pause.
after it the restore seem to be freezed up.
I
deleted the job in the timer job defition, tryed to restard some
services on the machines, like Windows SharePoint Services Search and
Windows SharePoint Services Administration.
Anyway when I go in backup and restore status, the job is alaways there.
I succeded to delete the SSP that the job created, that was in unproviding status, but it's all.
Someone could suggest a workaround for this problem?
Farm is 2007 SP1 and is composed by two frontend, one index and one sql 2005 server. Al servers are w2k3 64bit
