Upgrading from 5.0.2d to 5.2.f failed with patch.imapSpacesTemplates4 failed

[randomrolf]

Hey Alfresco Users and Friends,

i'm currently trying to upgrade my Alfresco 5.0.2d Installation to the latest 5.2.f.

Unfortunatly i'm getting the following error which in my catalina-Logfile.

Let me note, i've actually never used or configured the IMAP function in any specific way.
May someone can help me out with this issue?

Also i found this Alfresco Bug-Report MNT-2288 but the patch has been removed (also it applied official only to the cloud version..?).

Thanks in advance for your support!

There is no such version as Alfresco 5.0.2d - I assume you mean 5.0.d instead. It is typically recommended to make Community Edition upgrades in small steps, e.g. from 5.0.d to 5.1.g and then to 5.2.x

I have seen similar issues when people (administrators) manually deleted important folders out of the Data Dictionary folder. There is unfortunately no easy way to solve such an issue other than to recreate the expected folder structure before trying the upgrade. In this case you want to roll back your database to your last 5.0.d backup, recreate the folder structure and then try the upgrade again.
