The DatabaseUpgradeTool (DBUT)

The DBUT tool has three requisites described herein.

The DatabaseUpgradeTool determines the current version of the database then runs the necessary sql scripts and TriDK XML scripts to upgrade the SDL LiveContent Architect database to the SDL LiveContent Architect version that is installed. The DatabaseUpgradeTool package requires:

A running database

To allow upgrading of the database, the database must be operational (up-and-running).

A server installed by the SDL LiveContent Architect InstallTool
InstallTool makes no changes to your database. However upon installation, it verifies that a connection can be made given the current connectstring. The results of an installation are verified entries for:
  • database name, location, user name and password
  • application, data and website paths with strict folder structures and contents
  • project name and SDL LiveContent Architect version
