Resolution
- Shutdown Bamboo
- Backup database for rollback purposes
Search for the problematic data with the following SQL query depending on the build key:
SELECT * FROM VCS_BRANCH WHERE CHAIN_ID=(SELECT BUILD_ID FROM BUILD WHERE FULL_KEY='PROJ-PLAN');The problematic data is the result with NAME that contain "initialize.chain.branches".
Delete the problematic data
Always back up your data before performing any modifications to the database. If possible, test any alter, insert, update, or delete SQL commands on a staging server first.
DELETE FROM VCS_BRANCH WHERE CHAIN_ID=(SELECT BUILD_ID FROM BUILD WHERE FULL_KEY='PROJ-PLAN') AND NAME like '%initialize.chain.branches%';Restart Bamboo
