Rapid Boards Disappeared after Greenhopper 6.0.2 - 6.0.4 Upgrade; RapidViewAO with key XXXX not found

[Paul Wagner - at - AC]

I upgraded Greenhopper 6.0.2 to 6.0.4 last night using the UPM. My rapid boards disappeared afterwards. I checked the table AO_60DB71_RapidView and saw my boards there.

I attempted a Re-Index (as suggested by Jira, I've also seen a similar issue after importing a project). The Re-Index failed declaring table AO_ISSUERANKING already existed.

java.sql.SQLException: There is already an object named 'AO_60DB71_ISSUERANKING' in the database.

I have seen this before with re-indexing and other AO_* tables. The AO_* appear to be tables generated by the indexer (why else would it try to create them?), so I removed all tables from the database which start with AO_ and I was able to successfully Re-index; the re-indexer recreating these tables as well.

Still no Rapid Boards. I tried uninstalling the plugin, reinstalling it, re-indexing (same issues as above to reindex); restarting, re-indexing (above method) did not work either. I discovered the table AO_60DB71_RapidView was not being repopulated with the re-index. I was also suprised to see in the logs the following exception thrown when I clicked on the Agile button.

java.sql.SQLException: There is already an object named 'AO_60DB71_ISSUERANKING' in the database.

So something someplace knew I had rapid boards; but it could not load them.

I tried installing 6.0.5 too; no luck; rolled back to 6.0.2; no luck. I eventually succumbed to recreating the Rapid Boards manually and recreating the sprints which were active by using information from the change field tables looking for where the Field Sprint had changed.

I'd like to know what happened and how I can prevent it from occurring again? Or how to fix it? I want to upgrade Greenhopper however I do not want to loose the rapid boards again.

I found this recent post (https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/GHKB/could+not+find+entity+of+type+interface+com.atlassian.greenhopper.service.rapid.view.RapidViewAO+with+key+XX) as well as this one ( https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/91344/greenhopper-missing-rapid-views) to acknowledge others had a similar issue.
