Troobleshooting: Unable to connect to Gallery after upgrading server from 2018.3 to 2019.3

Hi,

 

I just upgraded Alteryx server from 2018.3 to 2019.3.

During upgrade process, I had to upgrade MongoDB from 3 to 4.

Everything looks fine. But since the upgrade process finished, I'm unable to connect to Galley.

 

I encounter the following message : 

{"data":null,"exceptionName":"UnavailableException","innerExceptionMessage":"","message":"The system is currently undergoing maintenance. Please try your request again later." 

 and in the Gallery log file there are the following lines (SELVES is my server name) :

Has the database migration completed successfully when upgrading?

Hi

 

The database migration completed successfully.

But the problem was still present.

 

The problem was solved by support.

As the server I tried tu upgrade was a clone of my production server VM, the old server name appeared to be still registered somewhere on the mongo database.

The following procedure solved my problem:

 

#1 Enter Mongo shell – open command line as an admin

#2 Change to Alteryx bin directory – for the default enter:
cd "\Program Files\Alteryx\bin"

#3 Connect to the Mongo Shell
mongo localhost:27018/AlteryxGallery -u user -p <PWD>

#4 Open the database
use AlteryxGallery

#5 You should see some type of welcome message to indicate you got in successfully

#6 Verify the presence of locks
Enter: db.locks.find()

#7 It should return 1-2 locks

#8 Remove the locks
db.locks.remove({})

#9 Exit MongoDB
exit

Thank you for this post!

We encountered a similar problem when moving Alteryx server and this did the trick!

Thanks, worked brilliantly on our 2018.02 to 2019.3.6 migration to new host + upgrade 🙂

Potentially saved us few days worth of investigation.

Hi @vincent_peiro 

 

Thanks for this information, I have the exact same problem but I am not able to delete the locks as with both passwords it is saying not authorized.

 

I can view the locks but not delete them.

 

Thanks
