Can we do a fresh install of TES 6.2.1 on a new server, but point to an database currently used by the older version (v5.3.x)

The current database is 2.5 gb, but it is already on SQL Server 2008, and doesn’t need to be upgraded.
In reading the documentation, it looks like the installer can install a fresh copy, which I’m assuming creates the requisite tables in the database.  It can also update an existing install, along with updating the database table structure.  What we weren’t sure of was if it could do a fresh install on a new server, but point to an database currently used by the older version of tidal.  It does say ‘The database modifications are performed when the master is first started after the installation.’ in the upgrade section of 6.2.1 Quickstart Page 6-5.  Hopefully that works regardless of if it was an upgrade or a fresh install.

We worked with one of their partners gssinfotech to create a custom runbook for "upgrade in place"
I think you might have to go to SQL2012 with 6.2.1 (there's a ton of benefits like always on that make BCP/DR with Tidal very smooth.) We've been Tidal 6 /SQL2012 for a while now so I forget. we're about 80% done with our 5.3.1 conversion
We restore our 5.3.1 admiral database to a sandbox SQL2012 server, run some cleanup script (if not upgrade in place, don't forget to set queue to zero and disable all jobs)
We installed a tidal Master then run every major rev and point to that database. (6.0,6.1,6.2,6.2 sp1)
The database gets upgraded during the process (we have some trouble with our "older" 531 so we do the same thing each time)
We then can use transporter to transport "legacy" 531 jobs to our pristine Tidal 6.2.1 (non-prod ) environment so we can take advantage of mapping files, etc. to switch things as needed
This gives a lot of flexibility to moving things in when one piece or job set at a time.. we use it to move job frameworks into nonprod Tidal 6 so that developers and other groups can review / asses / rewrite / test /  their jobs on tidal 6.

  • I did an upgrade from 4.0 to the new 6.0 about 5 months ago. After the upgrade installed it said reboot system to apply upgrade. Now it wont open and keeps telling me that the older version needs to shut down the computer and upgrade the old version.

    Look at original question. When I did the download to the new 6.0 it said everything was fine. Then when I tried to use the firefox again it said an older version needed to shut down my computer so that it could upgrade the old version. It wont let me do anything and all it says is shut down computer so old version can upgrade. It wont let me open the program or remove it or anything. PLease help me with this. I really like Firefox but this has been going on for 5 months now and I still dont get answers from you. How do I fix this???

  • Installing the older version of Pages

    Hello guys,
    Fist of all, please excuse me if this issue has already been solved (and I'm sure it has but I looked through the first 10 pages of discussions and couldn't find anything).
    After installing Mavericks, I updated my iWork to the latest versions. I didn't double-check them and deleted the older versions because I thought I wouldn't need them. So, I don't have the old versions in my Applications folder anymore. Now I'm trying to use the new Pages and I understand that I want to get the older version back.
    Could you guys suggest how I can install the old iWork after having deleted it?
    Thanks!

    Apple will do it, they have previously.
    As a consumer do not be afraid to stand up for what is right. Also if you live in a country with adequate consumer protection such as Australia or Europe the law gives you protection above what the company promises. Sorry USA, you miss out. Don't know NZ's laws well enough.
    Apple may be all sorts of things but generally they are not ogres, just need a nudge to do the right thing.
    They have been forced for example to give 2 year warrnaties in both Europe and Australia, although the staff in the Stores were slow to get the message, I overheard the manager telling them what I told them last year. The law is the law.

  • I have two versions of Lightroom installed on my computer, can I uninstall the older version?

    While looking at the "Programs and Features" folder on my Windows 7 computer I discovered that I have two versions of Adobe Lightroom installed on my system. One is Lightroom 5.2, installed on 9/19/2013, and the other is Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.5 64-bit, installed on 7/5/2014
      - Can I uninstall the older version?
      - Will uninstalling the older version cause any problems with the newer version?
      - If yes to either question, is there anything I need to do before doing the uninstall (i.e. deactivating, etc.)
    Any advice on how to correct this problem is gratefully appreciated.
    PS; I have the same issue with Muse CC. See: I have two versions of Muse CC installed on my computer, can I uninstall the older version?

    Jim,
    I thought it was odd that I had two versions of Lightroom installed as well. I have been able to track the issue back to an apparent "bug" in the Lightroom 5.2 update that installed a second version of Lightroom in addition to updating the existing version on my computers. At the time, I posted about it at Lightroom 5 installed twice on my laptop. While I never got an answer to my question, which was "Is this normal?" I did hear from others in the forum the experienced the same problem and had the same question. As time passed, later releases updated one of the two installations, but did not effect the second. Hence, two different versions of Lightroom 5 installed on the same computer.
    Uninstalling the older version solved the problem. Thanks

  • Can't install Server Essentials because it is not currently available from the Software Update server?

    Hi Guys,
    I have just purchased Mac OS X Lion Server. When I launch the Server App I am told I need to download additional software but once the App attempts to do so I get this message "Can't install Server Essentials because it is not currently available from the Software Update server".
    I looked around on the internet and I found a few vague comments stating I may need to insert commands into the Terminal. Can anybody help me please?

    Had the same message myelf but it is there. Somebody posted a link to it, will see if I can find it......
    Thought so, Karlegas found it.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all.

    I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. I went to the forums and tried all the suggested fixes but none worked. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all. I tried a system restore twice and it did not fix the problem.

    I would imagine it's the MyWay Searchbar which is classified by most anti-malware scanners as adware, or even worse as spyware. I say that because I see "SmileyCentral" in your list of plugins and that's an add-on for that particular toolbar. You can disable that via Tools | Add-ons | Plugins.
    There are a number of toolbars which won't work with Firefox 4 anymore due to the enhanced protection mechanisms in the browser.
    Mozilla recommends that you only install add-ons from its own security site @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/?browse=featured Generally speaking, those have all been tested and approved. The exceptions are those currently under review which are marked with a yellow banner to warn users that they haven't passed Mozilla's labs yet.

  • I TRY TO DOWNLOAD THE LAST VERSION OF QUICKTIME BUT A MESSAGE ERROR SAYS : CAN NOT REPLACE THE OLDER VERSION 7.6.2 INSTALLED IN MY COMPUTER

    I have beeing trying to upgrade my old version of Quicktime 7.6.2 to the newer one.
    Unfortunatly, at the end of the downloading process, I got an error message: The Older Version of Bonjour can not be removed. Please contact your technical support. I have no idea what is Bonjour??? Except it is French for good morning. I tried to delete the program with the add/remove programs, but I got a new error message who says: Another installation is already in progress, complete that installation before. It is crazy because I can not complete the installation until I delete the Bonjour program. And when I stopped the installation of Quicktime to try to delete or repair the program, I got a message: The feature you are trying to use is on a Network resource who is unavalaible????? I am ready to give up. HELP!!

    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac".  Write down what it says about "version"and report that here.  Now continue to "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    You have an Intel Mac so you can upgrade to Snow Leopard, but using the  information from the Get Information step above check the system requirements first:

    You can buy Snow Leopard at:
    Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    After installing run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.

  • I need to re-install my inDesign 5.5 but don't have my licence no for the previuos version (3). My 5.5 has been registered on my Adobe-account, but not the CS3, what can i do?

    I need to re-install my inDesign 5.5 but don't have my licence no for the previuos version (3). My 5.5 has been registered on my Adobe-account, but not the CS3, what can i do?

    Why do you need InDesign CS (that is version 3) or InDesign CS3 (that is Version 5) to install InDesign CS5.5 (it is version 7.5)?
    If it is an upgrade and asks you to input your serial of an older version, you have to get an find it. No one will help you here. If you can't find it and if you have not registered it, you are out of luck. You will have to spend money for a new version.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • HT201260 Tried to remove Symantec End Point software by dropping it in the trash and then emptied trash, of course now when I try and install newer version it tells me to uninstall the older version I can not access now. Any solutions?

    Tried to remove Symantec End Point software by dropping it in the trash and then emptied trash, of course now when I try and install newer version it tells me to uninstall the older version I can not access now. Any solutions?

    You usually have to use the program's uninstaller utility for such things as Symantec. Read this:

    You may need to install it all over again, just to use its uninstaller.

    Are you tapping on the field you want to enter data into? That opens the soft keyboard. If you touch the field and hold it, the paste option will appear.

  • I can't install Itunes (The older version of Apple Software Update...)

    I try to reinstall Itunes many times, but this message keep popping up :''The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group''. So I google the problem, and tried many solutions that people says like use windows installer cleanup utility (and it says we're sorry, we encountered an expected problem downloading one or more components and can't run the troubleshooter right now. Please try again later) , delete ASU from add/remove control panel (It says The installation source of this product is unavailable. Verify that source exists and that you can access it).
    Please help ~ What should I do?!? T.T

    I have the same problem as yours too. It always says ''The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group''.

  • TS1741 my 2nd gen iPod touch uses iOS 4.2.1. i foolishly restored it and lost the old version of 'remote', which worked perfectly, and i can't install the current app, which requires iOS 5.0. where can i find and download the older version of 'remote'?

    time to spring for a new iPod?

    1. On your computer or in the backups of it. It is no longer available in the iTunes Store.
    2. Not necessarily. In the event you can't get the older version back, you can purchase a third generation iPod touch or iPhone 3GS and not a brand new device.
