Migration from 3.2.0 to 4.0.d - hit dead end at DB updates

Hello helpful Alfresco community 😎 At Medway Council, we've been running the Community edition at version 3.2.0 for quite a while. It needs migrating to the latest version so we can get it on a better platform, configured from day one for a production environment, etc. The current live system is

Thanks for the feedback and detailed report.

Since you are using MySQL and have narrowed down (at least) one of your issues to a specific SQL statement, you could try comparing that specific snippet to the latest HEAD file (in SVN and/or nightly build) to see if it has been fixed and/or changed in a relevant way. Obviously, manually patching is completely unsupported and at your own risk. You will need to manually resolve any conflict … do not take the complete file and/or snippet "as-is" since this could likely introduce other issues.

An alternative option might be to consider Alfresco Enterprise (with dedicated support) to help with this and/or future upgrades.

Regards,
Jan

Hi recurring,
I tried to do the upgrade process and I run into the same error as you.

I also find the correct query from the svn HEAD in patch-common-SqlMap.xml:

        select
            id
        from
            avm_nodes
        where
            id &gt;= #{idOne}
            and id &lt; #{idTwo}
            and class_type = 'plainfile'
            and content_url is not null
            and content_url not like 'id:%' <include refid="alfresco.util.escape"/>
        order by
            id ASC‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This file could be found in this path:

[ALFRESCO-WEBAPPS]\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\ibatis\org.hibernate.dialect.Dialect\patch-common-SqlMap.xml ‍

Or in this path in the source tree:

repository\config\alfresco\ibatis\org.hibernate.dialect.Dialect‍

Is there a way to apply only this patch or should I redo all the upgrade process from the beginning??
