Reset SQL Change Script "Has run" Flag



  • The goal of this thread is twofold:

    1. gain a better, holistic understanding of how "SQL Change Scripts" work in Buildmaster, especially with regard to scripts that have already been executed and scripts that fail (e.g., are failed scripts re-run?)

    2. is there a way to tell Buildmaster to 'reset' the idea that a script has ran in an environment (whether successful or not), or does the script need to be completely recreated?

    Product: BuildMaster
    Version: 5.6.11



  • As of v5.6, the "SQL Change Scripts" feature is designed with these principles in mind: Database Changes Done Right.

    1. Run once and only once
    2. Impossible to be “un-run

    In order to accomplish this, a metadata table is created in the database (__BuildMasterDbSchemaChanges2) to track which change scripts have already been run. Before running a script, this table is queried.

    Regarding "resetting" the idea that a script is run, the best bet is to delete and re-add it from BuildMaster. You can also restore that particular database.
