Deployment Manager Broke

Everything was going great. Developers and management are loving DM.

Then today DM broke. I believe the problem occurred because of not enough disk space on the DM server. This results because the Windows\Temp\Nuget files are not being cleaned up. I've previously posted a message concerning this. I cleared out the deadwood in the Temp directory, but that didn't help.

The problem started when a developer did a manual build which automatically deploys to Development. DeploymentManager.exe generated the following message:

Now DM is unresponsive. When we try to manually deploy via the portal it just sits at the queuing request stage (the 1st step). Tried to check health functionality and it just sits forever at queuing request.

Rebooted DM server, restart DM service and agent with no success.

I looked at the application event log on the DM server and there are problems:

I'm not sure how to proceed as we are dead in the water now. I could reinstall and reconfigure DM and the agent on the server. I will wait for feedback.

    Getting ready to reinstall since I haven't heard back. Disappointing...

    I downloaded DM from the Red Gate site. Tried to repair DM through Windows, but Windows didn't care for the msi image I downloaded.

    I uninstalled DM and reinstalled using the newly downloaded image. Amazingly all my settings were still in tact, but it still doesn't appear to work.

    11 minutes and counting on the Check Health screen:

    Settings -> Activity history -> Manual health check

    Loading...

    Details
    Started: Wednesday, December 18, 2013 2:18 PM -05:00
    By user: administrator
    Duration: 11 minutes
    Completed: Queued...
    Status: Queued

    After the install, I checked the Application Event Log and the portal is no longer throwing the error. No other errors in the other log files.

    15 minutes with the Manual health check screen. Nothing appears to be happening. I'll try to manually deploy again, but I anticipate that it will just sit there at the queue state.

    Reinstalled the agent on the DM server (it's also an agent). This had no affect. The application warning (did I say error before) was still logged. I checked our QA web site target and the agent throws the same warning.

    My next step would be to uninstall, manually remove all the deployment folders, reinstall, and then totally reconfigure DM. I'd prefer not to do this, but its not working now...

    This is really making DM look bad when I thought we were really making a case for using this product beyond our development environment. How can I justify DM when the product breaks like this and is unrepairable? If anything, this begs for the need of a contingency plan for when DM fails in the future.

    Sorry for us not replying sooner- we try and keep an eye on the forums but sometimes that falls behind other work. If you're ever having something you'd like immediate assistance on, it's generally best to email support@red-gate.com (or visit our portal at redgatesupport.zendesk.com) and a ticket will be raised for us to look into sooner (unanswered forum posts get automatically logged as tickets after a couple of days, but as you answered your own post that won't have happened!)

    Anyway, for your issue you have done all the obvious stuff - restarting, reinstalling and so on. I think the 'SQLite.Interop.dll' error is probably /not/ related as I see this in the logs when I do a SQL deployment myself and it all works OK.
    Are you OK for disk space now? If so, then there's a couple of possibilities. One is that it's trying to work with a corrupt cached package, so you may want to clear out C:\ProgramData\Red Gate\DeploymentManager\Data\PackageCache.

    Given that even the healthcheck is not working though it suggests /possibly/ that your database is corrupt in some way and needs to be restored. Therefore I'd suggest having a look in C:\ProgramData\Red Gate\DeploymentManager\Data\Backups and seeing if there is a backup from before the original issue occurred - copy the backup file (and probably a few preceding ones) elsewhere on the machine. In addition, make a copy of the 'feed' folder (C:\ProgramData\Red Gate\DeploymentManager\Data\feed) as the next step will be to delete the 'data' folder (you want to keep your feed contents!)

    To restore the data, you will need to follow these steps:

    - Stop DM (just the service)
    - Delete the ‘Data’ folder
    - Restart the services
    - Run the smuggler restore command for the relevant .dmbak, for example:

    Open an elevated command prompt, then go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Red Gate\Deployment Manager\Server folder and then the command to run would be:
    Raven.Smuggler.exe in http://localhost:10300/ mybackup.dmbak

    (replacing the filename with the appropriate one you copied out of the data folder earlier.

    That will run the restore process. Once done, restart the service again, and ideally the web portal in IIS too, then see if it works...

    I'll ask the DM team to look at this post tomorrow in case you're still having trouble

    Whew! James to the rescue. I'll heed your advice in the future and I'll give what you've suggested a try and report back.

    To answer your questions and provide additional information:

    Yes, there is plenty of free space now.

    We just did another build and now DeploymentManager.exe reports:

    The command line tool I'm less familiar with I'm afraid, but this line:

    Resource not found: deployment with id deployments-1985, release releases-1729 and project projects-

    Suggests to me missing data. You can try browsing the datastore directly to see if deployment-1985 is there for example:

    http://localhost:10300/raven/studio.html#/documents?database=%3Csystem%3E&collection=Deployments

    or the release-1729:

    http://localhost:10300/raven/studio.html#/documents?database=%3Csystem%3E&collection=Deployments

    Do you have data leading up to that point? It's still sounding to me like a restore may be needed, but I'm afraid as we're in the UK the dev-team aren't here for me to confirm until tomorrow :(

    You are a life saving James. The restore did the trick. Check health works just fine. I did a build and it was deployed to Development with no problem.

    I'm going to have to create a job on the server to clear out the \Windows\Temp\Nuget directory for now so that we don't run into this problem again.

    Thanks again :)

    I just had to follow these database backup restore steps as well and they worked like a charm! These steps should be added to the documentation so that people don't have to dig through forum posts in order to figure out how to do a db restore.

    I agree! Even better would be an option to perform this processing on the portal.
