Hi @atripp,

I have gone through your steps, 1,2,3,4,5 - on this I got stuck.
I have updated the DB but now when I try to start the BuildMaster Service it is stopping with the following message:

.

From EventWiever logs I got the following error:

I have tried with restarting the Server but still got the same issue.

What I can understand there is some issue with the db upgrade.

Also just to let you know the hub for upgrading 6.1.27 and installing that version is not working at all.
Only uninstall is working from this hub.

I have made a new image of my BM fro production and created new server. I have successfully started the BM 5.8 copy, everything was working properly but when I upgrade again the version to 6.1.27 using the hub again I got the same issues that I have already reported to you.
So I have uninstalled the BM, removed the db and tried to install using the hub. The hub did not install the 6.1.27 BM so I have deleted everything and downloaded the installer.
After the installer finished I got up and running 6.1.27 version.
I have stopped the services, restored the db from 5.8 version and extracted the dbupdater.
After dbupdater finished I have tried to start the service and I was unable.
It can be some issue with dbupdater? Is there another way?
I can't see any other way how to do this update.
Please check with your dev team. If you need I can send you my db or give you access from my server.
Let's fix this issue.

Hi @atripp, let's try your recommendation but please give me direct steps.

1. How to make a backup on BM5.8?
2. How to restore the backup on BM 6.1?
3. After I install BM 6.1 fresh installation can I only take SQL backup from BM 5.8 and import to SQL BM 6.1 and everything will work properly?
4. I need to guide me what first to do so I can make all the process properly.

Hi @rhessinger,

I have taken a screenshot from the extensions, please check and let me know if you need more details.

Is there any tool to make a full backup? or some commands which I can use in order to make a backup and restore on the new server?

Regarding the reported issue for backup error, If I'm writing the fields correctly and it is all good it can be an issue because the application page is not working on my side.
Because of that, I'm looking for some other type of backup.
Also is there any way to use backup made from 5.8.3 BM version to be transferred on BM 6.2 version?
I have a backup from 5.8.3 with all features working inside.
My point is whether we can use this backup and restore it on 6.2?

Hi@rhessinger

I have tried to make a backup but with no success.
I have Opened Backup Applications and under Package Source, I don't understand what exactly I need to write, because from the documentation it says file://{PACKAGE PATH}, this Package path means where the backup to be stored or I need first to have already generated package?
I have tried with adding into Feed URL: file://C:/Backup - (Backup is the folder name which I have created in C). Also, I have tried to create with writing directly the path without file: I have just written C:/Backup but again I got the same error.
Display name: BM
Package type: Universal
Credential: I have left this part as anonymous.
After I click Save Package Source and I click on Backup Applications it is giving me the following error:
Is there something that I miss or writing wrong?

Also before installing the new 6.2 version, should I take a backup of BM db 6.1 and restore on the new server and then to run the installer of 6.2?

@atripp said in How to upgrade BuildMaster from 5.8.3 to latest version 6.2:

/applications/4

Sorry I have provided to you again the same error message from /all-applications.

Please find the error message from /applications/4

Also is there any toll to make a backup on my BM server (to collect all data) so I can transfer that on the new server where I will have 6.2 toll to take all that data?

@atripp Yes, Application page is not available and I receive the error:

But we would like to try to install the latest 6.2 version on a new server and to try to migrate all data from this issued one 6.1.27 in order to check if we can successfully bring up the BM.

Can you please share with me the migration toll which I will need to use?
And if there is documentation with details, what I will need to take(make backup and transfer) from the 6.1.27 version to the latest version 6.2.
