While trying to undeploy a search definition, following error can be encountered and the search definition doesn’t get undeployed as a result.

To resolve this issue, do the following to reconcile the PeopleSoft database and the Oracle SES database.

1. Go to the PeopleTools -> Search Framework -> Administration -> Deploy/Delete Object.
2. Check the Search Definition that you want to undeploy.
3. Click the “Report Sync Issues” button.
4. After doing this, you should get a hyperlink next to the search definition that shows “Reset Definition for Deploy”.
5. Click that hyperlink and it should undeploy the definition.
