Upgrade Log Files

Each time you run the SQL Server Upgrade Wizard, a subdirectory is created in the C:\Mssql7\Upgrade directory. The subdirectory name consists of the server name and the current date and time to distinguish multiple runs of the SQL Server Upgrade Wizard (for example, SQLCONV1_092198_151900).

Inside this subdirectory are a number of descriptively named log files describing each of the upgrade steps. Also inside is another subdirectory for each upgraded database, including the master database. Inside each database folder are log files indicating the success of the creation of different types of objects in that database. Files that end in .ok indicate that all instances of that type of object were created successfully. Files that end in .err indicate that at least one instance of that type of object was not created successfully. The error files list each failed object creation statement and the reason the object was not created successfully.

Any log files that indicate a problem are listed at the end of the SQL Server Upgrade Wizard for easy access.

The \WinNT directory contains these files.

File Description
Sqlupgrade.ini List of .err files to be displayed by the Script Interpreter
Upgrade.ini Template .ini file used to set defaults and run pre-task and post-task applications

The \Mssql7\Upgrade directory contains these files and directories.
