How do we install ALM12.2 with a newer DB version than supported?
| ♥ 0 |
We are about to install a new instance of QC/ALM12.20. When we run the QC/ALM12.20 installer, it gets as far as the Configuration Wizard, then a few pages in to the page where we specify Database connection, then it fails with a "Database version not supported" error. So, we need to install QC/ALM12.20 (unpatched) in order to install Patch 1 so we get support for the newer SQL-Server service pack, but how?

Yes, it does look a bit like a ''Chicken and the egg'' type of problem, but there is help. If you EXTRACT the ALM12.20 install files to a folder (don't use a DVD or ISO), you can go to the extracted ''ALM-Win64'' folder (Windows), and then open ''validations.xml'' with Notepad. ***< db-supported enabled=''true'' / >*** tag to **< db-supported enabled=''false'' / >** Save the file. Then when you run the installer (again), it will ignore the DB version check. The expectation here is that as soon as you can, you install QC/ALM12.20 Patch 1 to be in compliance with the System Requirements - SQL-Server 2012 SP2 is ''officially'' supported with ALM12.20 Patch 1.
