ERROR_STATE_SET_VERSION_FAILED
The state-store version could not be updated
ERROR_STATE_SET_VERSION_FAILED is raised when a migration or initialization path cannot commit updated version metadata. Other data may already have been changed, so the repository can be left in a partially upgraded state.
Common triggers
- The store becomes read-only or loses free space during migration.
- Another process holds an incompatible lock.
- The transaction is rolled back after a lower-level write failure.
- Security policy blocks modification of the repository.
Investigation
Capture the previous and intended versions, the migration step that ran immediately before the failure, and whether rollback completed. Check for concurrent instances and for disk or profile events at the same time.
Safe handling
Do not advertise the migration as successful until the version marker is durable. On restart, detect the incomplete state and resume or roll back using an idempotent migration design.
Transaction boundary
The version marker should be written in the same durable transaction as the schema change, or only after every migration step is safely committed. Writing it too early makes old data appear new; writing it too late can cause the same migration to run twice.
What to report
Include the source version, target version, migration identifier, number of records changed, rollback result, and storage error. This makes it possible to determine whether a retry is safe or a repair tool is required.
