Microsoft Dynamics GP Database Installation and Upgrade Statuses

I have to admit that to deliver this post I had to dig deep into the bowels of the Microsoft Dynamics GP Utilities. Installation and upgrade statuses don't seem to be anywhere (that I could find anyways) handy and can be very important when looking at a DEXSQL.LOG file for reasons of a failure during any of these processes.

Status ConstantStorage Value
DU_STATUS_DONE
0
DU_STATUS_START
1
DU_STATUS_INSTALL
2
DU_STATUS_UPGRADE
3
DU_STATUS_BIND_DEFAULTS  
7
DU_STATUS_RECOMPILE
8
DU_STATUS_CONVERT
23
DU_STATUS_POST_CONVERT
30

During the installation or upgrade of a database, status codes are recorded in the DYNAMICS..DB_Upgrade table for each Microsoft Dynamics GP dictionary being updated.

Until next post!

I noticed other values while trying to track the progress of our 25 company update using this script I built, below. I was thinking of building in a case statement with the various status.
48, 53, 54, plus some others that flash by pretty fast. Any ideas what the complete list includes?


SELECT db_name, PRODID, db_verMajor, db_verBuild, db_status,
Left(Convert(varchar(11) ,start_time, 0),11)+' ' + right(Convert(varchar ,start_time, 8), 8) as StartTime,
Left(Convert(varchar(11) ,stop_time, 0),11)+' ' + right(Convert(varchar ,stop_time, 8), 8) as StopTime,
Convert(varchar, stop_time - start_time, 8) AS Duration,
Case
When db_status = 0 then '1 - Upgraded'
When db_status <> 0 Then '2 - IN PROCESS'
End as Status
FROM DB_Upgrade WHERE PRODID = 0 and db_verBuild = 1860
Union All
SELECT db_name, PRODID, db_verMajor, db_verBuild, db_status,
'' as StartTime, '' as StopTime,
'' AS Duration,
'3 - Not Upgraded' as status
FROM DB_Upgrade WHERE PRODID = 0 and db_verBuild < 1860
ORDER BY status, StartTime asc
