Database lock for almost 2 days now in Business Central Cloud.

Posted on by 10

Hi,

We have a database lock issue and it has been here for almost 2 days now. obviously the cancel sessions action on the admin center is not working. We have also tried to force reset it by modifying the app insights key (sometimes this works) but still the database lock persists. We have contacted Microsoft about this but we got thru the wrong channel since this is NO WAY to ask Microsoft to reset the database lock without having a Premium Account, or going thru the partner. We raised it to our partner since yesterday and is not really getting us anywhere. we are currently processing an important migration activity and this has caused major delays in our task already. 

If this is an on-prem setup, how easy it is to restart the BC service or if nothing works restart the Sql server service. But this is the cloud so we are dependent to microsoft doing it for us. BUT, nobody is helping us so this is very FRUSTRATING. why put up a cloud service then if something like this happens you have no easy solution for the customer? or worse nobody even helps?

Anyway, if somebody has another solution please let us know. this is getting very frustrating already. thanks!

btw, this is our current version 16.5.15897.16301, we have not upgraded to 17.0.16993.0 yet.

    Hey,

      Your Business Central reselling partner will help you with technical support from CSP Dashboard ( partner center ).

    Please log a normal support ticket via the Power Platform or D365 BC Admin Center.

       admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/support  

      OR

     businesscentral.dynamics.com/.../admin

      I'm sharing also for our mutual understanding, Microsoft documentation which explain how to report a technical issue :

     docs.microsoft.com/.../manage-technical-support

     docs.microsoft.com/.../product-help-and-support

      In case you cannot connect your CSP provider, the delegated admin can use the Partner Center or the Business Central administration center to submit a support request to Microsoft.  Both internal and delegated administrators can access Business Central administration center, and then, in the Support menu, choose the New Support Request button. This logs you in to the Power Platform Admin Center. Here, you can launch the New Support Request guide that will help you identify potential solutions or workarounds based on how you fill in the various fields.

    In the Power Platform Admin Center, both internal and delegated administrators can explore different solutions based on the keywords that they specify.

     IMPORTANT:  Please do NOT use the “Declare Outage” action in the Admin Center  for the cases which are clearly not an outage.

    When you hit this button, you will be prompted to supply the Premier Support ID, and you will end up chasing your CSP provider still.
