GP2013 Upgrade hangs

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I am upgrading GP from GP10 SP2 to GP2013. I have already upgrade GP to 10.00.1779. When I am trying to upgrade to GP2013, the upgrade for DYNAMICS Database went fine. However,GP Utilities hangs and does not respond for hours when it starts to upgrade the companies. When I checked the SQL Profiler, there is no activity going on.

Any ideas/thoughts are highly welcome.

Best Regards,

Renjan

    Jonathan, fortunately we are doing this in a test environment first. We had waited six hours and when I did not see any activity in SQL Profiler I decided to stop it. I did some other snooping and noticed they had 6 companies in the SY001500 table but on their server was only DYNAMICS and their company database. I have run the ClearCompany script and am now doing the upgrade over again. It may have gotten stuck on a company that did not even exist.

    Hi Richard,

    If they are not using FA then you are not running into this issue. Are you sure the upgrade is not just working on a large table like the GL30000? Did you do a test upgrade? How long have you been waiting? How many records are in the GL30000 table?

    I too am at the same impasse doing a GP 10(10.00.1868) to GP 2013 (12.00.1482) upgrade. When I go into SQL Profiler I see no activity at all. They do have Fixed Assets installed and the tables are there but they are not using that module. Who can I contact about "Test customization/workaround for CR 10647 – FA00902 takes a really long time to update to GP 2013"?

    Renjan if you need the workaround please open a support case for this. Since this is a bug you would not be charged for the case.

    Renjan,

      Thanks for the reply. I checked with support and there is a known issue with upgrading to GP 2013 and large FA tables. They provided me a work around. If anyone needs it reference

    Test customization/workaround for CR 10647 – FA00902 takes a really long time to update to GP 2013

    Thanks again

    Hi Tom,

    Since the customer confirmed that they are not using FA module, I removed FA Data and ran the upgrade. It went smoothly. :)

    Cheers,

    Renjan

    Hello,

       What was done to resolve the issue?. Was it a matter of just letting upgrade run indefinitely? How long did it eventually take?

    Thanks

    Tom

    Hi,

    I got it resolved myself. This was due to the high volume of fixed asset data.

    Best Regards,

    Renjan
