I am sporadically getting errors in my Event Log for SPImmediateAlertsJobDefinition with the ID 6893, I've seen some of the posts out there pointing towards issues with the SharePoint assembly files. Yet I don't think this is the solution since this job runs but only fails say 25% of the time, this is a rough estimate but I do see it run. In Event Log I see the entry for ID 6893, the source is SharePoint Foundation and it comes from the Timer Task Category. Checking ULS I get:

Updates are currently disallowed on GET requests. To allow updates on a GET, set the 'AllowUnsafeUpdates' property on SPWeb.

The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPImmediateAlertsJobDefinition (ID 3b4f3122-46e4-4a9c-952c-a118758f3693) threw an exception. More information is included below. Updates are currently disallowed on GET requests. To allow updates on a GET, set the 'AllowUnsafeUpdates' property on SPWeb.

Exception stack trace:
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPGlobal.HandleComException(COMException comEx)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequest.DispatchTimerJob(Int32 lJobType, Guid gVServerId, Int32 lScope, Guid gDatabaseId, String bstrDSNServer, String bstrDSNDatabase, String bstrDSNUser, String bstrDSNPassword)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPNativeDatabaseJobDefinition.Execute(Guid targetInstanceId)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPTimerJobInvokeInternal.Invoke(SPJobDefinition jd, Guid targetInstanceId, Boolean isTimerService, Int32& result)

Far as I know SPWeb should be set. Has anyone found a solution to this or should I just ignore it expecting the next run to resolve the problem?

Sometimes, when doing upgrades, or restoring from back ups, timer jobs aren't migrated correctly and become corrupt.

  • I saw that page and tried some of the solutions, but as I seem to need the Immediate Alerts job (and it only fails some of the time) I did not want to remove it. Finally tried the Repair option, something I had been trying to avoid as I thought all machines in the farm needed it. Sadly, none of this resolved the issue, the same Job still fails sporadically although, at least I know my assemblies are now up to date.

  • Accepting this as it seems to be the only lead although I'm still getting these in Production where we've never had restores so I don't think this is the only cause.
