Hi,
I moved our Test system to V12.5, and because we need to copy down Live to Test and cannot move our Live system at the moment to V12.5, I'm wondering what would be involved in reverting Test back to V12.1.2. If we do a normal back-up and restore and I reinstall the api will that work?
Thank you,
Lou Ann
Is re-upgrading the test database to 12.5 on the table? All you would have to do is run the database-specific parts of the 12.5 upgrade on the test instance. That would be a lot easier than reverting to 12.1 everywhere else.
I just did this -- one hiccup you might run into is if you disabled filestream on the test DB after upgrading (as per the upgrade docs), you won't be able to restore your 12.1.2 DB to that server without re-enabling filestream (from SQL Server Configuration Manager).
I made sure to stop the application services first, and ran all the database upgrades from TIM afterwards, and everything went pretty smoothly (after I figured out the filestream thing).
We were able to successfully do this. I uninstalled all the services. Then re-installed the V12.1.2 ones. I got an error and needed to change the property for nscan.db.Password to nscan.db.encryptedPassword. Then encrypted the password in security and pasted it into the textview of TIM. That was the only hiccup.
Thank you for the advise.
