upgrading the SQL server 2000 Notification Instances to SQL Server 2005

  • Hi

    We are in process of upgrading the SQL server 2000 Notification Instances to SQL Server 2005. We are doing "Side-by-Side Upgrade" on a new 64-bit server.

    We are following the instructions as per the document

    "SQL Server 2005  Upgrade Technical Resource Guide".

    Following are the steps we have completed:

    1. Install SQL Server 2005 Database Engine/Notification Services on a new server

    2. Installed .NET framework 2.0 on new server (64-bit machine)

    3. Taken backup of existing Notification Databases i.e. MyAppNSMain, MyAppNSApp.

    4. Restored the backups on the new server.

    5. Run NSControl repair command

    NSControl repair -name ABCPress -database ABCPressNSMain _

    -schema dbo -server ServerName

    6. Run NSControl upgrade

    NSControl upgrade -name MyInstance -server MyDbServer

    This step gives error that Instance must be disabled. When we try to disable the instance using

    nscontrol disable -name myinstance -server myserver

    It gives error:

    The assembly version does not match the database version.

    Assembly Version: 9.0.242.0

    Database Version: 2.0.3008.0

    Please let us know if we are missing any step.

    Thanks

    Gagan

     

  • It is either a corrupt file or the databse does not have a reference for the assembly.  Try restoring the databse again and/or re-register the assembly.
