Hi,
We need to upgrade around 30 installs of SQL 2008 workgroup edition to 2012 Web edition.
According to this msdn article, if I understand correctly, this is a supported upgrade path if
1. It's the same architecture (no 32bit to 64bit)
2. At least Servicepack 2 required
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143393(v=sql.110).aspx
The setups I'm trying to upgrade are 64bit, and running at least servicepack 2. However, the upgrade fails on the '2012 supported feature upgrade' check. The detailed log states the following:
(14) 2015-01-21 00:29:23 Slp: -- SkuUpgradeRule : Found feature package 'sql_engine_core_inst_ctp6_Cpu64' with SkuValue=WORKGROUP (Workgroup) ProductVersion=10.2.4000.0
(14) 2015-01-21 00:29:23 Slp: -- SkuUpgradeRule : Rule 'Cluster_FeatureDownGradeCheck' found sourceVersion 10.0.0 and edition WORKGROUP for feature package 'sql_engine_core_inst_Cpu64'.
(14) 2015-01-21 00:29:23 Slp: -- SkuPublicConfigObject : ValidateSkuMatrix checking sku matrix for sourceVersion=10.0.0 sourceEdition=WORKGROUP (Workgroup) sourceArchitecture=X64 targetEdition=WEB (Web) targetArchitecture=X64
(14) 2015-01-21 00:29:23 Slp: -- SkuPublicConfigObject : ValidateSkuMatrix source and target architecture match.
(14) 2015-01-21 00:29:23 Slp: -- SkuPublicConfigObject : ValidateSkuMatrix did not find a match in sku matrix .
An attempt to upgrade to 2014 web edition resulted in the same condition; except for some reason the sourceEdition does get detected correctly:
sourceVersion=10.0.0 sourceEdition=Invalid () sourceArchitecture=X64 targetEdition=WEB (Web) targetArchitecture=X64
I've tested this scenario multiple times (including first upgrading to 2008r2 workgroup edition) , with clean installs on newly created VM's, always ending in the same failure.
What am I missing here ?
Thanks for any help in advance !
Kind regards,
Edwin
