Problem



When attempting to delete entries from the Files folder of the Personal Store Management in the Enterprise Vault Console, the user is prompted with a pop up error.

Error



The PST file entry cannot be deleted until the current operation is complete

Solution



Enterprise Vault administrators who are trying to remove entries of PST Files that are in the process of migrating with the status of "Completing", are unable to delete them and receive a pop-up message stating that the file entry cannot be deleted until the current operation has been completed. Please refer to the error shown in example 1 below:

Example 1:
 
This error is normally associated with a Client Driven PST Migration task, but can also apply to a Server Driven PST Migration task as well.

To resolve this issue follow the steps below:

1. Delete the contents of the PST_Holding folder and the PST_temp folder (This may already have been done by the Administrator)
2. Run the following SQL query to determine the user machines that are affected and are required to be removed from the EV console as shown in example 2 below:

Example 2:
 
USE EnterpriseVaultDirectory
GO
SELECT  *
FROM PstFile
WHERE filespecification like'%Value%'  

Where  '%Value%' equals the partial name of the workstation (example - '%PCNRS% ')  

3. Open SQL Studio Management Tools and expand the EnterpriseVaultDirectory database.
4. Open the Table called PstFile and search for the entries shown in the SQL Query in step 2 above.
5. Determine the Migrating Status from technote http://support.veritas.com/docs/287704 - What do the values in the "MigrationStatus" field of the PstFile table indicate.
6.Change the "MigrationStatus" to 100 (Do Not Migrate) for all the relevant entries indicated in the EV Console and the SQL Query.
7.Save changes made to the PstFile table and close SQL Studio Management Tools
8.Close and Re-open the Enterprise Vault Console
9.Attempting to delete entries from the Files folder of the Personal Store Management in the Enterprise Vault Console, should now be successful.
