Looking at the process listing it was clear that the dmdba process performing the upgrade was still present so had not crashed: root 18354 18347 0 Nov02 pts/1 00:00:01 /opt/serena/dimensions/14.2/cm/prog/dmdba --noschemacheck system/manager@dim14 upgrade all / SKIPCHECK There had also been a number of pt*.tmp files created in /tmp but they had not been updated for a long time.
This error occurs because the schema QLARIUS_CM doesn't exist in the target database whereas it was existing in the source one. One way to workaround this and continue the upgrade is to run this command instead through DMDBA: upgrade pcms_sys / skipcheck /force
It is recommended to rerun the DMDBA upgrade command similar to the following: upgrade all /force / skipcheck When the above has been completed, run the INSV command.
