Symptoms

Users are unable to delete objects from the Citrix Management Console.

Cause

The Delete Tracker table may be missing from the SQL database.

Resolution

CAUTION: Make sure you backup your database before attempting either of the 
resolutions listed below.

1. Open SQL Enterprise Manager.

2. Browse to the Citrix database then the ?Tables? section.

3. You should see four tables:

? KEYTABLE

? INDEXTABLE

? DATATABLE

? DELETETRACKER


If DELETETRACKER is missing and this is a Presentation Server 3.0 or 4.0 farm 
and you have just recently experienced this issue, restore from backup. If you 
don?t have a backup then chfarm a server out of the farm and then back in again 
and it should recreate the table.

If DELETETRACKER is missing and this is a XP farm, you have two options:

? Add a Presentation Server 3.0 or 4.0 server back to the farm and check to 
make sure the table has been created in the database. Then remove the server 
from the farm and just make sure the table stayed.

-OR-

? Delete the triggers from the KEYTABLE in the database. Right-click the 
KEYTABLE and select Design Table. In the design table window, click the 
Triggers button. In the Trigger properties window, in the ?Name:? drop down box 
delete both ?OnKeyTableDelete(dbo)? and ?OnKeyTableInsertUpdate(dbo)? triggers.

More Information

If this is a Presentation Server 3.0 or 4.0 farm, this table needs to be here 
or you will be unable to delete objects from the Management Console.

If this is a MetaFrame XP farm and at one point in time you added a 
Presentation Server 3.0 or 4.0 server then removed it from the farm, this table 
may have been removed. This in turn would also prevent you from removing 
objects from the Management Console.
