[sims] Failed SOLUS Upgrade

[m4rk]

Hi All,

 

After some of you lovely people to sanity check this process out for me. As the title mentions my SIMS Spring 2021 failed doing the update via SOLUS. The message i received was Tolerance not met for Target Database. This was the same for both FMS and SIMS.

 

Would i be right in thinking that i can extract the updates from each deployment task. So FMS Database only and FMS Client, and then the same for SIMS.

 

The do DBUpgrade, point to the extracted folder pop in all the details and apply the patch manually then update on the client, do that once for FMS and then for SIMS.

 

Then verify that you can log in and job done?

 

PS - I have run through this process in a non networked backup VM and it works as i expected and has completed the upgrade, with no errors in either upgrade.

 

Is my logic sound?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Have you checked that you have enough free disk space before doing the upgrade? You might find you don’t have enough free disk space for the backup that runs prior to the update.

Plenty of drive space, but good shout.

Client or server?

 

Here are a few things to check:

Tolerance Not Met In SOLUS 3 —

This was the SOLUS client on the server trying to do the upgrade to the Spring 2021 release for the main databases. I did find that article when i was doing a general search.

 

I did find in testing on a non live backup VM that i could do the dbupgrade manually without errors, so i have at least narrowed it down to it being SOLUS being a picky bugger. This is weekend work to get it upgraded.
