This error occurs when any timer job task is underway and it is preventing another task. For example when you are configuring service accounts I got this error.
The solution is to clear and reset the SharePoint timer job 'Cache' by doing following steps:
- Stop the Windows SharePoint
Services Timer service (Found in Windows Services)
- Navigate to the cache
folder
In Windows Server 2008, the configuration cache is in the following
location:
Drive:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config
In Windows Server
2003, the configuration cache is in the following location:
Drive:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config
Locate
the folder that has the file "Cache.ini"
(Note: The
Application Data folder may be hidden. To view the hidden folder, change the
folder options as required)
- Back up the Cache.ini
file.
- Delete all the XML
configuration files in the GUID folder. Do this so that you can verify that the
GUID folder is replaced by new XML configuration files when the cache is
rebuilt.
- Note When you empty the
configuration cache in the GUID folder, make sure that you do not delete the
GUID folder and the Cache.ini file that is located in the GUID folder.
- Double-click the Cache.ini
file.
- On the Edit menu, click
Select All. On the Edit menu, click Delete. Type 1, and then click Save on the
File menu. On the File menu, click Exit.
- Start the Windows SharePoint
Services Timer service
- Note The file system cache is
re-created after you perform this procedure. Make sure that you perform this
procedure on all servers in the server farm.
- Make sure that the Cache.ini
file in the GUID folder now contains its previous value. For example, make sure
that the value of the Cache.ini file is not 1.
