I noticed the "v11 Download Manager with Feature Release 24" indicates it comes with a few items:
- Microsoft SQL 2019 software for the CommServe® Database Engine
- Database Upgrade Tool
I have two questions:
- My MSSL DB on the Commserve is MSSQL 2014 (as it is v11 SP16). I know I need to upgrade this to MSSQL 2019, but am going to do it after updating to v11SP24 (possibly doing a hardware refresh as part of the DB update). just curious: Can I use the “Database Upgrade Tool” to perform the upgrade or is it more of “tool for support” ? I believe I read on the forums that upgrading the MSSQL DB isn’t the best way, and its easier to just install a new SP24 CommServe to get MSSQL 2019. I can do this, just wondering about the tool.
- When I install the software in the “v11 Download Manager with Feature Release 24” (after upgrading my Commserve to SP24. I need this to build an SP24 package for a second console), is it going to cleanly “update” the previous old SP16 “Download Manager” install/files, of should I do some manual cleanup/deleting of folders (uninstall, etc)?
- I assume installing "v11 Download Manager with Feature Release 24" in a SP24 Commserve with MSSQL 2014 its not going to want to (or require) an update my Commserve 2014 MSSQL database to build installable packages… or is it?
