Multi-cast session already exists! -except it doesn't

[Vanlue IT Guy]

I am trying to start a multi-cast session called “a” and I keep being told that the session already exists, except it doesn’t. I think this traces back to a session that I cancelled, but obviously it got stuck somehow. How can I get it unstuck?

truncate table multicastSessionsAssoc;
truncate table multicastSessions;
delete from tasks WHERE taskTypeID=8;

Try again.

@Tom-Elliott Tom Thanks! Where do I run this or doesn’t it matter?

@Wayne-Workman @Tom-Elliott, Thanks guys! I had to use Wayne’s commands to get into and out of mysql and Tom’s commands to clear out the DB table.
