Microsoft

Dec 31, 2018

Summary

Have you experienced an issue where "Crawl History" is inaccessible in your Farm and throwing error, "Could not find stored procedure 'Search_GetRepositoryTimePerCrawl'"?

If so, you may have seen this blog https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/sambetts/2014/12/10/sharepoint-2013-crawl-history-error/ which details how the store procedure is created and the issue could be that the timer job to complete the provisioning is disabled. In these cases, just enabling and stating the "Search Health Monitoring - Trace Events" timer job does the trick.

However, if this didn't work in your case, please keep reading for a possible workaround...

Cause

The "Search Health Monitoring - Trace Events" timer job unexpectedly fails to execute the provisioning process and the SQL changes are rolled back.

Resolution

To resolve this, force the provisioning process associated with the "Search Health Monitoring - Trace Events" Timer Job, by executring the following PowerShell commands.

 Add-PSSnapin microsoft.sharepoint.powershell -EA 0
 $diag = Get-SPDiagnosticsProvider -identity "Search Health Monitoring - Trace Events"
 $diag.OnProvisioning()

This process should force the initialization of the missing tables and stored procedures within the Search DB according to the definition of "Search Health Monitoring - Trace Events" diagnostic provider.
