Summary

When trying to add users to an organization or while creating a new organization, the action fails with the error: sd.customer.organisation.ids.error.not.found.

Environment

Any Jira Service Management Data Center

Diagnosis

The organization is correctly found in the database when using the SQL below:  

1 select * from "AO_54307E_ORGANIZATION";

The REST API endpoint "/servicedeskapi/organization" also returns the relevant organization, which confirms that the organization exists in the database.

Cause

The Jira Data cache is out of sync with the database.

Solution

To resolve this issue, the data cache needs to be flushed and re-built from the database by re-starting the Jira application (in case of a single node), or performing a rolling re-start of each node (in case of a cluster of nodes).
