I am getting the following error in my event log.

 

An exception occurred while updating addresses for connected app {2953feb4-f131-457c-85bb-91394c8e9f02_f8e4bf0f-052d-420b-be83-f1d036879e99}. The uri endpoint information may be stale. System.InvalidOperationException: The requested application could not be found.     at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPTopologyWebServiceApplicationProxy.ProcessCommonExceptions(Uri endpointAddress, String operationName, Exception ex, SPServiceLoadBalancerContext context)     at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPTopologyWebServiceApplicationProxy.ExecuteOnChannel(String operationName, CodeBlock codeBlock)     at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPTopologyWebServiceApplicationProxy.GetEndPoints(Guid serviceId)     at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPConnectedServiceApplicationAddressesRefreshJob.Execute(Guid targetInstanceId) 6b6dbbc6-dec2-4a3e-816e-2bbd6c1e7647

 

I went to the Sharepoint configuration database and did a search for the app name in table [objects] based on the error and found one row of data.  The properties show http://<servername:port><GUID>SearchService.svc.  I am this far but do not know where to go from here?  How or where do I verify if this service still exists?  If it doesn't exist can I delete this object to fix the issue?

Thank  you,

 

use the url http(s)://<site>/_vti_bin/SearchService.svc hope it will help

This issue has been fixed in the October Cumulative updates for SharePoint 2010:

SharePoint Foundation 2010: KB 2596508

SharePoint Server 2010: KB 2596505

Had same issue (Critical error event id 8031), all CU up to date Oct CU incluted.

I saw some helpful hints posted by Lance Davis in a technet forum and that helped me along...

Copy the ID from the error message and go to you SQL/DB server and run this Query on your config db:

SELECT [Id]
      ,[Name]
      ,[Status]
      ,[Properties]
  FROM [Your_Config_Database].[dbo].[Objects] WHERE [Name] LIKE  '%ID from error msg%'

The results gets you some info about the error (properties) and an ID to use to remove it from your server.

Make sure that this service app/object is not running on your server before removing it!

Run this stsadm command to remove this error: stsadm -o deleteconfigurationobject -id (insert id from the SQLQuery)
Do a iisreset on all front end servers.

In my case the error is all

Yes this worked for me.

FYI: this was a reference to an old Search Service Application that was left hanging around after I deleted it and then rebuilt the SSA. Obviously removing the old SSA had not been completely clean.

Worked for me too.

I also checked with the MS partner network to ensure it was a supported fix.

Thanks,
