Solution deployment is the task that we do on daily basis. This is the task in which SharePoint developer and administrator works in proper co-ordination.
Problem
description-
I
was deploying the solution in our production environment and faced some strange
issue. When I add a solution using PowerShell command its says operation
completed successful.
Add-SPSolution –LiteralPath "<file_path>\name
of the wsp” is stored"
So
the next stage is install solution, I executed the following command
Install-SPSolution -Identity "name of the
solution.wsp" -WebApplication http://sharepointplanet.galaxy.com –GACDeployment
I
checked the statuses of the solution in central administration->system
settings->manage farm solutions and the status never changes from deploying.
By
means of this article, I will try to share the resolution worked for me and
possible recommendations you can try to resolve this issue completely.
Resolution worked
for me-
It
turned out that one of our servers on which we have stopped the timer service +
World Wide Web publishing service due to patches incompatibility and it was
waiting on this server to complete. If
you have more than one server in your farm ensure that the SharePoint TIMER
services are running on all.
How
you can check the above-
1. On any
server->start->run->services.msc->enter->this will open the
services console.
2. Now type
s-> this will give you all the services that start with S->look for SharePoint
timer service and make sure it’s in started mode.
3. This
service should be started on all the front ends as well as application server.
Possible Resolutions-
1. Make sure
SharePoint timer service should be started on all the servers (web front ends
as well as app server)
2. Try restarting the
SharePoint Administration service on all the servers.
3. Restart all the SharePoint
servers
4. Make sure that all
the servers in farm are on the same time zone.
5. Execute stsadm -o
execadmsvcjobs on all the servers of the farm
6. Cancel the
deployment job by means of central administration, remove the solution and try
to add the solution again & check the results.
7. Check the status of
the jobs by means of CA-timer job status or use te following command - stsadm
-o enumdeployments - This will give you
the list of all the pending & active deployments.
After
trying all the steps, nothing works then please checks the logs and find out
the root cause.
In
case of any problems with respect to logs then please share here so that I can
help you out!
I
hope the above information will be helpful to deploy the solution successfully.
Thank you.
