- Process hangs when the Create button is clicked.
- Occurs with a MySQL database
Inspect the schema of the AO_9412A1_AONOTIFICATION table. Next, describe the table and look for the ID column. If you're facing this error, the column should be missing the "auto_increment" modifier, which you can confirm by checking the extra column and seeing if it's empty or otherwise missing auto_increment:
describe AO_9412A1_AONOTIFICATION;
+---------+-------------+------+---------+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+---------+-------------+------+---------+---------+-------+
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
| id | bigint(20) | NO | PRIMARY | NULL | |
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
+---------+-------------+------+---------+---------+-------+
You may also need to enable SQL Logging of AO tables by adding this class with DEBUG Level on the Logging and Profiling page if the log does not indicate which table the issue is stemmed from:
Cause
The ID column (primary key) of the AO_9412A1_AONOTIFICATION table is set without the auto_increment modifier. This can happen during an upgrade if you dump your Confluence tables to a file using mysqldump and used the --skip-opt setting, as this generates a SQL script that does not include the auto_increment modifier in create table statements. Subsequently, when you re-import your Confluence data via MySQL the tables will be reconstructed and will lack the auto_increment modifier.
mysqldump --skip-opt -p confluence > confluence.sql
mysql -p confluence < confluence.sql 
When using mysqldump, do not use the --skip-opt flag, OR supplement it with --create-opt if you must use --skip-opt.
Resolution
- You will need to modify the ID column of the AO_9412A1_AONOTIFICATION table with the auto_increment modifier, which you can do with the following script:
ALTER TABLE AO_9412A1_AONOTIFICATION MODIFY COLUMN ID BIGINT auto_increment;
