Hi,
Are there any known issues of changing to SQL 2016 when running Promis*e V8i series 6 over AutoCAD? We are currently running SQL 2012 server.
Hi Aaron,For the concern of SQL compatibility you can refer the compatibility chart in the link below-https://communities.bentley.com/products/electrical___instrumentation/w/electrical_and_instrumentation__wiki/3719/compatibility-chart---promis-e-v8iAs SQL 2016 is not compatible with Promis.e V8i SS6.This might lead to display of error messages or erroneous performance or slowness.For better enhanced features you can upgrade to the latest version of Promis.e -Promis.e CONNECT which is compatible with SQL 2016.Hope this helps.Regards,Lalitesh Vaidyar
Hi Aaron,Promise SS6 is not compatible to SQL server 2012 and we didn't recommend you to change your server into SQL server2016. If possible please upgrade your software from Promise v8i SS6 to Promise ( standalone version )So you don't need to worry about the upgrading your server.Please Compatibility chart of Promise Connect :-
Hi Aaron,Along with above points mentioned by Avanti I would like to mention that Promis.e SS6 is very old version of Promis.e and its no longer supported. The latest version of Promis.e is Promis.e CONNECT Edition Update 3 which is compatible with SQL Server 2016. And we would like to mention that apart from Promis.e V8i SS8 no other V8i versions support SQL Server 2016. And according to the Bentley Support policy all versions of Promis.e apart from CONNECT Edition versions will Support Discontinued after 1st January 2020. Hence you will have to update your Promis.e to Latest version for continued support. For more details you can refer the below Link regarding "Bentley Support Policy".
