WARNING: Rolling back unfinished WRITE transaction!
Can anyone guide me what can be the possible cause and how to proceed?
Accepted answer
Hello,
Is this on windows by chance?
This error "WARNING: Rolling back unfinished WRITE transaction!" Indicates that it has locked up. When Build Forge starts, it launches several processes. Once in a while, one process finishes before another and it's not suppose to. This causes it to lock or otherwise known as a race condition. This has been known to occur on Windows machines, It's highly dependent on the performance of that machine.
The solution is to just stop Build Forge. Make sure all related processes have stopped. Then restart it. It should work the second or third time.
If this is not Windows, however very much unlikely to happen on a Unix/Linux system. Try restarting it and that will most likely resolve the issue.
Once BF has started, you can look into the license issue if that is indeed an issue or just as it says, "WARNING".
Let me know if that works! You probably have already tried that are are back up and running. In either case this is why.
Thanks!
