Diagnosis

If using JIRA Software (JIRA Agile) 6.7.0 or higher, use the Understand the LexoRank managment page in Jira server tool to run an integrity check. Otherwise, access <JIRA_BASE_URL>/rest/greenhopper/1.0/lexorank/integrity - for example https://jira.atlassian.com/rest/greenhopper/1.0/lexorank/integrity. You must be an admin to run this.

(info) It may help to copy/paste the results into something like jsonprettyprint.com as it will make it easier to read.

If the rank integrity checker doesn't pass on Rank out of bounds check, this KB will apply.

        ....
		{
          "name": "Rank out of bounds check",
          "description": "Checks if there is a rank value for the rank field that is out of bounds.",
          "passed": false,
          "failureReason": "Found the following rank value(s) for rank field[id=15200] that are out of bounds: 0|1000003:",
          "fatal":true
        },
		....

Cause

There is a rank value that exceeds the available ranking boundary. The ranking boundary is defined by the minimum and maximum marker row. For example, if the minimum and maximum marker rows are in bucket 1, and there is an issue in bucket 2 this error will be presented.

Resolution

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 the out of bounds error returned by the integrity checker. In the case above, we can use the below SQL to do so. This will mean the ranking is lost for that issue only.

DELETE FROM AO_60DB71_LEXORANK WHERE FIELD_ID=15200 AND RANK='0|1000003:';

(info) Ensure to change the FIELD_ID and RANK values as per the integrity checker.
