Upgrade BC14 to BC23 UpdateVATEntries error

Posted on by 7
Hi,
 
I'm upgrading customers database from BC14 OnPrem to BC23 OnPrem. For some reasons this is the steps:
 
BC14 -> BC15.3 -> BC201.8 -> BC23.5
 
I've done the steps on database A without problem(haven't tested all functions but I can login to BC and it seems to be working fine).  But when I do same steps on database B(that should have same code) I get stuck on the step BC20.18 -> BC23.5 and this specific task: 
 
Start-NAVAppDataUpgrade -ServerInstance $BC23ServerIntance -Name /Base Application/ -Version 23.5.16502.16757
 
First I thought that the problem was network related when looking at the error. But when trying again 2-3 times it always says same error which mentions VAT:

    Thanks gdrenteria!
     
    I changed SqlCommandTimeout from 30 min to 60 min. The VAT part of the upgrade took more than 30 minutes.

    Hi
    have you checked the event viewer?
    If you restart the service, or the SQL?
    You can extend the blocking time of the SQ L in the BC service
