I have the same error this is the compute engine logs ```auto 2020.04.21 10:28:05 ERROR ce[AXGb2TumVm04a7-8faQz][o.s.c.t.CeWorkerImpl] Failed to finalize task with uuid 'AXGb2TumVm04a7-8faQz' and persist its state to db java.lang.IllegalStateException: Task does not exist anymore: CeTask{organizationUuid=AWkv_fdNs5cDpYntB8Oq, type=REPORT, uuid=AXGb2TumVm04a7-8faQz, component=Component{uuid='AW3-Ao6U3lZs7YVNM03x', key=' *******', name='******'}, mainComponent=Component{uuid='AW3-Ao6U3lZs7YVNM03x', key=' ********', name='******'}, submitter=User{uuid=' ******', login='********'}} at org.sonar.ce.queue.InternalCeQueueImpl.lambda$remove$0(InternalCeQueueImpl.java:118) at java.base/java.util.Optional.orElseThrow(Optional.java:408) at org.sonar.ce.queue.InternalCeQueueImpl.remove(InternalCeQueueImpl.java:118) at org.sonar.ce.taskprocessor.CeWorkerImpl$ExecuteTask.finalizeTask(CeWorkerImpl.java:242) at org.sonar.ce.taskprocessor.CeWorkerImpl$ExecuteTask.afterExecute(CeWorkerImpl.java:236) at org.sonar.ce.taskprocessor.CeWorkerImpl$ExecuteTask.close(CeWorkerImpl.java:196) at org.sonar.ce.taskprocessor.CeWorkerImpl.findAndProcessTask(CeWorkerImpl.java:159) at org.sonar.ce.taskprocessor.CeWorkerImpl$TrackRunningState.get(CeWorkerImpl.java:133) at org.sonar.ce.taskprocessor.CeWorkerImpl.call(CeWorkerImpl.java:85) at org.sonar.ce.taskprocessor.CeWorkerImpl.call(CeWorkerImpl.java:53) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:264) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:515) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:264) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.run(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.java:304) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1128) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:628) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:834) ``` ---

Hi, You haven’t given us much here. How about some context?   Ann ---

I may be able to give some context to a similar message I have in my logs. > 2020.06.10 13:05:10 TRACE ce[sql] time=0ms | sql=select cq.uuid, cq.task\_type as taskType, cq.component\_uuid as componentUuid, cq.main\_component\_uuid as mainComponentUuid, cq.status as status, cq.submitter\_uuid as submitterUuid, cq.worker\_uuid as workerUuid, cq.started\_at as startedAt, cq.created\_at as createdAt, cq.updated\_at as updatedAt from ce\_queue cq where cq.status = ‘PENDING’ and cq.started\_at is not null > \*\* > 2020.06.10 13:06:13 ERROR ce[AXKfMQ7tAPMkJXsnYaNK][o.s.c.t.CeWorkerImpl] Failed to finalize task with uuid ‘AXKfMQ7tAPMkJXsnYaNK’ and persist its state to db > IllegalStateException stacktrace > 2020.06.10 13:06:13 INFO ce[AXKfMQ7tAPMkJXsnYaNK][o.s.c.t.CeWorkerImpl] Executed task | project=\*\*\* | type=REPORT | branch=\*\*\* | branchType=BRANCH | id=AXKfMQ7tAPMkJXsnYaNK | submitter=\*\*\* | status=SUCCESS | time=80568ms This happens on a 8.3.1.34397 install that started with a blank MSSQL server.

Also the measures tab for any scans that “partially” complete will display “The request cannot be processed. Try again later.” when trying to activate the measure tab. ---

@Tarig0, is there anything else in your logs? Regarding the UI, what do you see in your browser console? I guess a 500 error? If so, that would be worth checking `web.log` for.   Ann ---

I think I was getting the “request cannot be processed” message was because even though the status is canceled for the background task its still running the CE so the metrics were still being processed… After a few more minutes I was able to pull the metrics. I would like to concentrate on why the CE background tasks are being lost in the queue while being processed though. I’m not seeing them being deleted anywhere in the CE log. ---

In the related thread that this one was split from, it was a problem with too little filespace available to the DB. We’ve also seen a problem when the CI deletes the branch in SonarQube _while_ an analysis is being processed for it. Does either of these sound right?   Ann ---

Branch is a long living branch so that doesn’t make sense. No indicators of memory issues on the mssql server. ---

@Ahmed_Ghanmi I found out my issue was multiple sonarqube front end servers using the same sql server. You can check this by changing your connection string to use a new database catalog/instance and see if that resolves the error.
