Hello,

     recently I have been testing upgrading an instance from 2024r2 to 2025r2 directly. I have met some issues which I have never met before during other version upgrades. So I am writing this down here for others' reference, and also hope experts can help check whether my solutions are right or wrong.
 

Issue 1:Inner Exception:A default full-text catalog does not exist in database 'xxx' or user does not have permission to perform this action.Query in question:exec pp_EnableFullText

Solution: I found a catalog named "ft" already exists but with default=0, then I altered the "ft" default to 1. Rerun the wizard, the error disappeared.
 

Issue 2:An exception occurred during migrations of web.config. Please contact your Acumatica support provider.

Solution: I rerun the wizard, performed the "Change Database" action, and reconnected the application to the DB. The issue was solved. Maybe the reconnection automatically generates a new web.config file.

I hope the above notes would help.

Hi ​@ray20,

I didn’t ran into Issue 1 but yes Issue 2. I ran into it few times and that exactly what I have done as well to rerun the wizard and it eventually fixes the issue. Alternatively, you can always create a copy of web.config before upgrade and then upgrade so if Issue 2 occurs then you can just compare web.config and update the DB connection manually. This will save some time of running the wizard again.
