Question

From my Hybris Admin tool (http://localhost:9001/admin), when I run the command “Update running hybris Multichannel Suite” with only the option “Localize types” selected, I get the following error:

11:19:31,146 [hybrisHTTP5] INFO  [Initialization] Localizing types ...
11:19:32,481 [hybrisHTTP5] INFO  [EJBTools] pk 8796118941778 does no longer exist.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Answer 1

The error happens due to what is previously logged as “INFO”:

INFO  [EJBTools] pk 8796118941778 does no longer exist.

To solve this:
1. Run the following query against the hybris database.

SELECT *
  FROM collectiontypes
  WHERE elementtypepk NOT IN (SELECT pk FROM composedtypes
                              UNION ALL
                              SELECT pk FROM ATOMICTYPES);

1. The returned rows reference types that no longer exist and is somehow an artifact of previous upgrades.
2. Deleting those rows should resolve the issue.
3. Update Hybris.
