SharePoint 2013 ::: Event ID 6482 ::: An update conflict has occured

Hi all,

Today, I'm facing with Event ID 6482, indicating that the job is failing due to an update conflict.

The resolution for this issue is to delete ALL .xml files where the mentioned file is located.


1. Finding the filename:
The first line give the file name of the .xml file to find. The name is located into the brackets at the end of the line:
service instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance (a5744ce1-d592-42fc-a081-82188cbee126).

2. Stop the "SharePoint Timer Service"

3. Browse on each servers of your farm to this path:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config

4. Delete all .xml files present into the folder where .xml files are located (the other folder does contain  ".PERSISTEDFILES" : do not toutch them)

5. Edit the file "Cache.ini", and write down the number "1"

6. Save the "Cache.ini" file

7. Repeat steps 2 to 6 on each servers of your farm

8. Restart the "SharePoint Timer Service" on each servers of your farm.

9. Check that all cache files are automatically recreated.

10. Check that the file "Cache.ini" contains another number then "1"



==> Problem solved.
