Sitecore log recently reported an error during aggregation. While going through the log file, found an exception below:

Exception: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException Message: T-SQL ERROR 242, SEVERITY 16, STATE 3, PROCEDURE (null), LINE 474, MESSAGE: The conversion of a datetime data type to a smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.

Please suggest, what should be the possible reason for this kind of error?

  • Hello @Mahendra what is the SItecore Reporting Database means? Is it the analytics.secondary database or any other database. Please suggest.

    In simple the reporting database contains aggregated data from the xDB collection database or in general it is actual analytics database visible in the sitecore reports. And a secondary reporting database works as secondary to avoid disruption during the rebuild process, it store all aggregated data as it is reprocessed.
