Orphaned Database Snapshots prevents mds configuration manager database connection


Problem:


Orphaned database snapshots in dev and test environments can stop you being able to use the MDS Configuration Manager to connect to the database. This occurs if you restore the mdm_hub database when a database snapshot exists on the target server. Because the snapshot is orphaned it gets left in SUSPECT mode.

SELECT name,state_desc  FROM sys.databases

Solution:

Delete the database snapshot and make sure the database is in ONLINE mode.

More Info:

To check for the error you can run a profiler trace which will bring up an Exception 926 when trying to connect with configuration manager.
Books online error 926
