DPM Event 943 - Couldn't retrieve task

I'm receiving this error on my Primary DPM Server:

The description for Event ID 943 from source MSDPM cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

Unable to connect to the DPM database because the database is in an inconsistent state.

We can't find any information about that task in the database, or for that matter, in older versions of the database. I'm trying to figure out a way to fix this without having to do a full restore and so far have found nothing online about this particular "cannot retrieve task" in event 943. Any ideas?

Nevermind, we fixed the issue. It required dropping and rebuilding the index_tbl_te_TaskTrail__TaskID_JobId on dbo.tbl_TE_TaskTrail and everything is back and operating. Figured I'd post this in case anyone else has this same issue.

DPM Service Failed When Erasing a Tape

Install the latest rollup updates for the product in my case it was rollup 6 which resolved the issue and don't forget to do dpmsync-sync

UR 6 is located here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3030574?wa=wsignin1.0
