I am retracting a globally deployed solution via Central Administration. Here is the info
Name: familycareprl.wsp Type: Core Solution Contains Web Application Resource: No Contains Global Assembly: Yes Contains Code Access Security Policy: No Deployment Server Type: Front-end Web server Deployment Status: Retracting(scheduled at 10/2/2011 7:04 PM ) Deployed To: Globally deployed.
What i don't understand is why the retraction is not immediate....it basically just sits there indicating that it is retracting. I'm used to quick retraction via Visual Studio. I have also run stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs to see if that would speed it up but it just sits there. Couple notes. It was deployed through powershell using
Add-SPSolution c:\familycareprl.wsp Install-SPSolution -identity familycareprl.wsp -GACDeployment (had to leave off the URL for it to work)
I initially forgot to deactivate the features before attempting the retract. They are now deactivated.
Did a stsadm -o enumdeployments and got this
<Deployments Count="1"> <Deployment JobId="daa0d839-af5a-401b-baa4-7bbda2d3f2b3"> <Title>Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Solution Retraction for "familycare prl.wsp"</Title> <Type>Retraction</Type> <State>Pending</State>Cannot open database "SharePoint_AdminContent_6f68eb f3-27b1-4c25-a1e3-c83b5968b947" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'NA\cheever.m.1'.
What does this mean? Why can i log into Central Admin and use Powershell (i am db_owner/db_securityadmin on the content database and config database). Can anyone tell me what i need to ask my IT guy to do?
