Error Message: Microsoft Commerce OLE DB Provider Error 'c100400b' Profile Object Already Exists (278803)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Commerce Server 2002
  • Microsoft Commerce Server 2000

This article was previously published under Q278803

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to create a new profile by using the Commerce Server 2000 Profile Service object, the following error message occurs:
Microsoft Commerce OLE DB Provider error 'c100400b'

Profile object already exists.

/profiletest.asp, line 5

CAUSE

When you create a profile by using the ProfileService object's CreateProfile method, the profile is immediately cached in the Profile cache. However, the new profile is not actually created until the Update method of the ProfileObject object is called.

If there are any errors during an update, or if the Update method is not called, this problem occurs. The user name resides in the cache for five minutes (by default) or longer before being flushed from the profile cache.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Commerce Server 2000.
