Hi Mllii,

Are you trying to reuse an old database with LCM 1.0.2? If yes, from which LCM version is the database?
If you're trying to migrate an LCM 1.0.1 configuration to LCM 1.0.1 then you should point to a new database and use the migration tool to migrate data.
If you're trying to migrate from an earlier LCM 1.0.2 version (like early access build or beta) then this is not a supported upgrade path.

Regards,
Todor

Just click on the UPDATE link in the upper part of the screen ("Install. Database update required. UPDATE")

And LCM should quickly update your DB structure, aligning it to 1.41 schema.


(I hope that you're not already getting that error after clicking on that link :))

Hi,

As I wrote in my previous comment, this is a not supported use case.
In order to upgrade 1.0.1 to 1.0.2 you need to specify a blank database and use the migration tool to export data from 1.0.1 and import it in 1.0.2.
You can take a look at LCM Administration guide for details on how to do it.

Regards,
Todor

Yes, as I did last time I updated: trying to update from a pervious version of DB (without recreating it from scratch) causes several inconsistencies and LCM instability...

Re-creating the DB from scratch is the best solution (with a possible import of previously imported data, if you made an export/backup).

Remember also to apply the lastest 1.0.2.1 patch released by VMWare a week ago... (it fixes some further little bugs).

Bye!
