SQL Server 2012 Support

[JamesGreen]

Hi guys,

Long time fan of Vault (standard) and I was just starting to evaluate Vault Pro with the current eval version (5.1.2).

The server environment I would like to deploy Vault Pro into is running SQL Server 2012 (this will end up on Express Edition in case that matters).

To set up our test environment I started with a clone of our current Vault Pro databases and ran the server installation MSI package.

The installation failed because the sp_dboption stored proc is being called by the installer, and it is deprecated in SQL Server 2012.

Is it possible to install Vault Pro on SQL Server 2012 at the moment?

Thanks in advance
James

Full support for SQL Server 2012 will come in Vault 6.0, due out later this year.

We've done a few tests wtih SQL Server 2012 and Vault 5.1.2, but didn't run into the problem you reported.

Could you tell us the specific steps you followed so we can try to reproduce them here?

What Vault version are your current databases, and what version of SQL Server have they been on?

What OS are you using for Vault/SQL Server?

I think when I tested it I did a fresh install, so it's possible it's the upgrade that isn't working.

I was able to reproduce the error when I ran the installer to upgrade an existing Vault database in SQL Server 2012. I'll log a bug.

We will fully support SQL Server 2012 in Vault 6.

Thanks for the quick reply guys.

Our production Vault environment is on SQL Sever Standard 2008 RTM (v10.0.1600.22) and Vault 5.1.0. It was a clone of these databases I restored for my SQL Server 2012 test box.

I have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition on my testing server and the Vault Pro setup completed without a hitch.

Thanks for your help
James
