    The Validate Repository tool will do various checks and will display the results of these checks as well as a prompt to commence the upgrade.

If you see this message you should not proceed with the database upgrade.

Additional Step if upgrading from an earlier version of 2023:

The Audit trail recording system, and Global Search system in the later versions of 2023 require additional, minor changes to the database. These changes do not affect the desktop product, so there is no requirement to upgrade Evolve Suite on machines, other than the Evolve Server (unless you wish to do so).

 

Using ValidateRepository run the following command:

ValidateRepository.exe -connection:YourConnectionName -username:YourUserName password:YourPassword -applyfixes

When prompted to apply fixes, review the changes (there may be other faults that need fixing, check you are happy
with them) then press 'a' for all.
