Cause
Some issues are still referring to projects that were deleted.
Resolution
Always back up your data before performing any modification to the database. If possible, try your modifications on a test server.
- Stop JIRA.
- Create a backup of your database.
Run the following query:
DELETE FROM nodeassociation WHERE source_node_entity = 'Project' AND source_node_id NOT IN (SELECT id FROM project); DELETE FROM jiraissue WHERE project NOT IN (SELECT id FROM project); DELETE FROM projectversion WHERE project NOT IN (SELECT id FROM project); DELETE FROM component WHERE project NOT IN (SELECT id FROM project);- Start JIRA.
- Perform a Full re-index on your JIRA instance to successfully retrieve the updated value from database.
If the above query does not solve the problem, please see also: JIRA Functionality Fails due to The Project argument and its backing generic value must not be null Error for further information.
