SQL Server notes

Upgrading SQL Server with AVEVA products installed is supported. See the AVEVA Global Customer Support GCS Technology Matrix for the complete list of supported SQL Server versions.

Only 64-bit versions of SQL Server are supported in this System Platform release. See Supported SQL Server versions at time of release for more information.

If an error message about an unsupported SQL Server version is displayed while installing or upgrading System Platform, check the following:

• Your installed version of SQL Server is no longer supported, for example, SQL Server 2012.

  • How to fix: Upgrade to a supported version. Refer to the following Microsoft resource for more information: Upgrade SQL Server

• Your installed version of SQL Server is supported but requires a service pack. For example, you have SQL Server 2016 SP2, which was supported on System Platform 2020 R2 SP1, but now upgrading to System Platform 2023 is blocked because this release requires SQL Server 2016 SP3 or newer.

  • How to Fix: Download and install the required service pack.

• You have a 32-bit version of SQL Server installed.

  • How to Fix: Refer to Issue 1249251 under Installation, upgrade, and galaxy migration issues.
