Troubleshooting delayed deployment pipeline cancellation in Adobe Experience Manager Managed Services

This article provides guidance on troubleshooting and collecting necessary information when a deployment pipeline cancellation in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Managed Services is delayed due to a long-running cleanup process.

Description description

Environment

Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Managed Services deployments

Symptoms

When cancelling a deployment pipeline in AEM Managed Services, the cancellation process remains in progress for an extended period (such as more than 3 hours). This blocks subsequent deployments and impact scheduled activities. The Cloud Manager UI displays the pipeline execution stuck in a canceling or cleaning up state, without showing an explicit error message.

Cause

This issue is typically caused by a long-running or stalled cleanup process that prevents the pipeline from completing.

Resolution resolution

Follow the steps below to resolve the issue:

  1. Log in to Cloud Manager and navigate to the affected pipeline execution.

  2. Check the pipeline status. If the pipeline remains in a canceling or cleaning up state for more than 3 hours, note the current status and any recent activity.

  3. Review the pipeline execution details for any failed steps or warnings that may indicate where the process is stalled.

  4. Attempt to refresh the Cloud Manager UI, or log out and log back in to confirm the status is up to date.

  5. Collect the following information to provide to Adobe Support:

    • The affected pipeline execution URL

    • The approximate time the cancellation was initiated

    • Any observed symptoms or error messages

    • Screenshots of the pipeline status and any relevant logs or messages

  6. If the issue persists and the pipeline doesn’t complete cancellation, contact Adobe Support and provide the collected information for further assistance.

  7. After Adobe Support confirms the cleanup is complete, verify that the environment is ready by starting a new deployment pipeline and monitoring its progress through the validation and cleanup phases.
