  `
  CpmGeneralException{base='com.checkpoint.management.is.exceptions.CpmGeneralException: com.checkpoint.management.coresvc.ngm_api.ActionCannotBeExecutedException: Can't perform purge operation for version that are currently being assigned to.', errorCode='null', errorFamily='null', messageForUser='null', message='com.checkpoint.management.coresvc.ngm_api.ActionCannotBeExecutedException: Can't perform purge operation for version that are currently being assigned to.'}`  
  `
  `  
  `
  A purge operation is already in progress. please wait for the current operation to complete before performing a new purge operation. `

## Cause

There is a pending purge operation. Generally, this happens because of a server crash or a *mdsstop* during the purge process. As a result, when the server recovers, it runs the purge again. In this case, the pending purge has already finished, but it still appears in the pending table and locks the session.
