Issue

  • Unique constraint (IX_228562AD) violated on Server restart. It could be shown as
    • an ERROR log message in JDBCExceptionReporter class and
    • an INFO log error in BackgroundTaskMessageListener class.
    2022-04-20 11:32:25.855 ERROR [liferay/background_task-3][JDBCExceptionReporter:234] integrity constraint violation: unique constraint or index violation: IX_228562AD
    2022-04-20 11:32:25.861 INFO  [liferay/background_task-3][BackgroundTaskMessageListener:151] Unable to acquire lock, queuing background task 37387
  • If the DEBUG log leves are activated for BackgroundTaskMessageListener (see Adjusting Log Levels to persist after portal restart for more details), the full trace would be similar to this:
    2022-04-20 11:32:25.855 ERROR [liferay/background_task-3][JDBCExceptionReporter:234] integrity constraint violation: unique constraint or index violation: IX_228562AD

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.3

Resolution

  • This case is similar to Constraint (IX_228562AD) violated when LDAP import on startup is on and this error message can safely be ignored.
  • Portal is handling the original problem (IX_228562AD violation) and queuing that. The ERROR is logged by Hibernate (JDBCExceptionReporter) but after this log, the portal shows the INFO message to confirm that the background task has been queued and will be executed later.
