SYNC171: Local DB setup failed
What this means
A local database on this device could not be created or removed.
Restart WCPOS and try again. If it keeps failing, the device may be low on storage or the browser profile may be restricting storage; free up space, then contact support if it persists.
Your data
The device's local database could not be set up or cleared. This is a storage/setup problem, not an unsynced edit — free up storage and retry; if it persists, export diagnostics and contact WCPOS support.
Troubleshoot
- Restart WCPOS and try the same action again — most setup failures are transient.
- Check free storage on the device; creating a local database fails outright when the disk or the browser's storage quota is full.
- On web, check that the browser allows persistent storage for the site — private windows and block-all-data settings do not.
- If it keeps failing, export debug info and contact support.
