Step by Step Scenario
- Update Database
- Update Fails on the Management Database
Action Plan
Perform the below actions
- This issue has normally been seen in CAST scenarios where there are multiple databases associated with the management database. The solution is to update all databases individually, except for one management, one central, and one local that will be upgraded via a combined install.
- To do this use a command line like the following:
<8.3 Installation folder>\servman.exe -INSTALL_CONFIG_FILE("
\LOCAL_XXX_FILE.xml") -LOG(" \Yourservman.log",USELOGFILE) With the XML file like this (you will need to change this for your configuration - this is for a local database install)
- To do this use a command line like the following:
