Transfer Database task fails...but with no error description

  • Error: The Execute method on the task returned error code 0x80131500 (Detach database failed for Server 'xxxxx'. ). The Execute method must succeed, and indicate the result using an "out" parameter.

    That is all I get. Googled it and everyone else seems to get more info. Any help? I had another task reporting this same error and I reran and it worked fine. This one though - reran it 5 times, still comes up with the above. Not sure how to delve deeper.

    Thanks

  • Ahhh! Once I start talking about an issue I usually fix it. Always the way.

    Even though as part of my package I was setting the db offline and then bringing it online to kill all connections, one of our devs had somehow kept a connection to the database in question. Killed that and it runs fine. Would have preferred a decent error message tho!!!

    Job done.
