CAST Imaging System - Database - Neo4j - Error - Transaction logs are missing and recovery is not possible
Purpose
When starting imaging, neo4j does not start and the debug.log shows the error: ‘Transaction logs are missing and recovery is not possible’
Imaging Version
| Release | Yes/No |
|---|---|
| 2.x | ✅ |
Details
This happens if something has happened to the transaction logs, such as they were moved or removed due to space issues.
However deleting/moving them is not permitted as per neo4j: https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/configuration/transaction-logs
Since the transaction logs were missing,
Add below parameter to the neo4j.conf file which forces database to start without recovery in case of missing transaction logs.
dbms.recovery.fail_on_missing_files=false
2. After modifying with the parameter above, then restart the Neo4j Service
