Cause
The upgrade of the Bitbucket connector v0.4 to the DVCS Connector v1.0.3 may have failed to upgrade the active object database tables properly resulting in SQL errors.
Workaround
Verify which tables are being used by the Plugin by checking the Plugin Data Storage page which can be found here:
Administration >> System >> Advanced >> Plugin Data Storage
For the DVCS plugin, the affected tables are:
1
2
3
4
ao_e8b6cc_issue_mapping
ao_e8b6cc_issue_mapping_v2
ao_e8b6cc_project_mapping
ao_e8b6cc_project_mapping_v2One you have confirmed which Active Object tables are being used by the plugin,
Always back up your data before making any database modifications. If possible, test any alter, insert, update, or delete SQL commands on a staging server first.
Disable the plugin
Bring down the JIRA instance
Using your database tools, remove the affected tables
Bring up the JIRA instance and enable the plugin and allow it to recreate the tables
