1 2 2021-09-16 21:50:29,265+0200 https-jsse-nio2-8443-exec-300 ERROR direps11 1310x46305658x2 10vwkzs 10.58.121.106 /rest/insight/1.0/object/navlist [c.r.j.p.i.services.core.ObjectServiceImpl] RuntimeException:Unable to create a new instance of class MutableObjectBean java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create a new instance of class MutableObjectBean

Cause

The application index of Assets has been corrupted

Solution

Please use following steps to clear the cache.

(Note that although no Data loss is expected, it is always recommended to backup Jira before proceeding):

  1. Shut down Jira 

  2. Clear plugin and tomcat caches by removing the contents of these directories:

    1. JIRA_HOME/plugins/.osgi-plugins/

    2. JIRA_HOME/plugins/.bundled-plugins/

    3. JIRA_INSTALL/work/

  3. If your Assets is configured to "Restore Assets index from file" - please remove this file, so Assets will re-index upon start (the file should be located in the path  /var/atlassian/application-data/jira/caches/insight_indexes) OR $JIRA_HOME/caches/insight_indexes

  4. Restart Jira.

  5. Wait for Assets Re-Index to finish

  6. Try to filter/search again
