I’m in a pickle. We had an R6.5.1 server where our Resource database lived. The server died. We are migrating to R7 so we decided to recreate the server from scratch with R7.0.2. However Resource reservations doesn’t work now. I’m sure it is because we simply moved the Resource database back to the server from backup which means the R7 install did not have the database to upgrade/convert.
Any advice? Should I revert the new server to R6, get the Resources working again and then upgrade to R7?
Might there be a way to “upgrade” the current database to work in R7?
I have high hopes but low expectations that I can fix this easily.
All help and advice is greatly appreciated. Heck, you can even make fun of me for doing it the way I did!
