It is a trouble one we remove search service from central admin and after removing the associated database even though when we create the new service we face the following issue
When I look at the Service App, I do see the Search Admin Web Service get created/started. I also search the Search Service Application… but with the following error:
“The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component ‘co- relation token ID no’ in search application ‘Server Search Application’ is in a good state and try again.” Even though many times to clean up the
1.services apps
2.Ddatabases
3.service instances, and proxy perior to to re-create.
Finally I followed the following steps and it worked for me.
Remove old SSA if still there (Stsadm -o deleteconfigurationobject -id {GUID})
Delete old service application pool (Remove-SPServiceApplicationPool)
Clear out the cache and stop the timer job service from all the server on your farm I mean All WFE, app server and database server.
Also you need to remove below files from all of the servers.
“C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\[GUID]”. Other than Cache.ini, delete everything under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config\[GUID] directory. Update the cache.ini and change the number to 1 and save it. Start the Timer services again.
Check the Job Definition by going to http://CentralAdmin/_admin/ServiceJobDefinitions.aspx page. Check if there is any phantom jobs (job with only GUID but no details) and remove them if exist.
Stop and restart “Sharepoint Server Search 14”
Stop and restart Search Query and Site Settings Service, hope it will work for you …
