SPWeb Object Disposed Error On New Best Bet

Question

Hello SharePoint Fam,

I have been adding Best Bets with no problem for almost a year now and for some reason now I am getting error:

Trying to use an SPWeb object that has been closed or disposed and is no longer valid.

Each time I try to create a new Best Bet/Keyword.  I am using all ootb functions and not sure where to look to resolvethis.  I downloaded the disposechecker tool but not really sure how to use this tool.  I am only seeing this error with new Best Bet keywords and no where else.  Not sure if error is coming from keywords.aspx, masterpage or if there is application pool issue.

Please Help somebody!!!!! Thanks N Advance :) 

Answer 1

Hey dabrams28,

That is really strange, so you won't really be able to run disposechecker. I believe it's traditionally used for your own custom development to ensure you are properly disposing of SharePoint objects. However, since you are strictly OOB right now, it doesn't really apply.

Have you checked the logs to review entries matching the correlation ID it's spitting out?

Very strange Shereen!!  I have went to the logs and they give me same message just with different correlation ID each time of course:

Answer 3

Ok that sucks.

What type of logging do you have enabled? Verbose? It's really weird and I'm wondering if there is anything being logged before it hits the SPRequest error.

Also you probably already tried this, but has the app pool been recycled?

Answer 4

Correct, I have verbose logging enabled.  I have recycled some of the app pools but not all.  I have app server & web server not sure which one I need to recycle for this issue.  My APP Pools are below, web server on left, app server on right:

Answer 5

Hello,

had weird thing that just happened that is kind of good i guess.  I just figured let me try and stop and start on managed metadata service.  After starting it back up and trying a best bet it worked with no error at all?????  Anyone know what that may mean?  Is managed metadata possibly configured wrong somewhere that will cause this every now and then?  Didnt think best bet was tied to managed metadata at all.

Thanks n advance

Answer 6

That is weird. Not sure if anyone has any feedback on why that is, but great to hear it's working again!

Answer 7

Hi dabrams28,

The error message often shows with developer, like when development with SPCurrent.Current.Web, or do changes of a SPWeb object after disposing.

In the default UI action, may happens with the SharePoint publishing instruction feature, when creating enterprise site or page. Not sure why this happens when add best bets in search key words, seems some feature issue with managed metadata service application, as the key words is hosted in it.

To further look at this issue, it would be better to open a support ticket.

Thanks,

I restarted the Managed Metadata service and added the keyword but after that, on again creating a new best bet the error appeared. I restarted the service againg but the error still appears.

Any help?

Hello Paramdeep,

Restarting the managed metadata service is what did the trick for me, not sure what other steps you might want to take.   Have you tried rebooting the server that this service resides on and see if that does anything or restarting iis/ca?  Are you getting any errors in the event log?

Answer 10

Well since I was on a Production environment therefore could not perform the iis reset during working hours, but I did the same activity on pre-live and iis reset worked for me. After that it never appeared, I guess stopping the worker process is the final solution if restarting managed metadata service does not work.

I am getting this same issue after we installed SP2 and I was able to reproduce it (after spending hours of pulling my hair out).

For me, the issue occurs ONLY when I try to add a keyword that is already a synonym.  Instead of an error stating 'Keyword cannot be used b/c it is already a synonym', it shows same error:

Trying to use an SPWeb object that has been closed or disposed and is no longer valid.

Correlation ID: f748c0af-cb68-4b60-a080-2c3affa77198
Date and Time: 2/19/2014 1:23:35 PM

So, I also reproduced on our DEV environment by following these steps:

1. Add Keyword 'Apple' with Synonym 'IPad' and save
2. Add Keyword 'IPad' with Synonym 'Tablet' and save
3. Error occurs.

Can someone with SharePoint 2010 SP2 try above to see if they get same result?  Sounds like a .NET or SharePoint error (from Microsoft)

More detail was displayed in our DEV environment:

Answer 12

I ran into the same issue.  You need to add the keyword with the best bets first, then save it.  After that is complete, you can then go back and edit it to add synoyms after. 

Answer 13

Hi, ran into the same error and this worked for me as I could not find any correlation ID's in the log and no other error messages. When I did it this way after adding the keyword and then editing it, it actually gave me the exact error, a term in the synonyms list is already in use, deleted the term from synonyms and my best bet was created.

Awesome stuff, gained some brownie points too. Thank you Lori. 

Answer 14

Hey guys, I just had this issue, trying some stuff and I removed all my keywords but one, then it worked, when I put them all back I got an error

Each synonym
must be shorter than or equal to 100 characters.

Then I realised I was using comma instead of semicolon, once I changed them all to ; it worked
