Hello Everyone,
I am having a really strange issue with Managed Metadata. I get the classic Error “The Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available” which is usually a permission issue.
However, all the good accounts have permission. In the ULS Logs this is what I found :
Failed to get term store for proxy ‘Managed Metadata Service’. Exception: System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary.
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.Internal.XmlDataReader.GetDateTime(String name)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.Internal.SharedTermStore.Initialize(IDataReader dataReader, Guid termStoreIdValue, Boolean fromPersistedData)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.Internal.SharedTermStore..ctor(IDataReader dataReader, Guid termStoreId, Boolean fromPersistedData)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.Internal.DataAccessManager.GetTermStoreData(MetadataWebServiceApplicationProxy sharedServiceProxy, Boolean& partitionCreated)
I only found 1 blog post on the issue: http://sharepointbabe.blogspot.ca/2013/04/upgrade-managed-metadata-service.html however I was maybe trying to fix before recreating. And for me it’s pure 2013.. no 2010 in there!
Thanks!
This error occurs when the [dbo].[ECMChangeLog] table is empty. As a result, the ChangeTime returned by [dbo].[proc_ECM_GetSessionData] is null. This stored proc is invoked while initiating a session. Since mine was in a non-prod environment, I managed to resolve this with the following steps:
1. Modify the stored procedure: [dbo].[proc_ECM_GetSessionData] so that a non-null value is returned for ChangeTime
SELECT
ISNULL(max(ChangeTime),GETDATE()) AS ChangeTime
2. Now you should be able to see the TermStore. Make a change say add a term store administrator, save and then remove. With this, the ECMChangeLog table is populated.
3. Revert the change made to the stored procedure.
SELECT
max(ChangeTime) AS ChangeTime
