Mid-Tier patch 2 to patch 4 is not an issue as the Mid-Tier install does not do anything to the database. You need to upgrade the Prod CMDB to 2.1, then it is a simple matter to copy (Backup/Restore) the database. NOTE: Save the database data that holds the license information on Dev first so you don't have to re-install the licenses. Fred

You need to get the install versions to agree before you do this. I would patch Prod to MT 7.1 patch 004 and then patch the CMDB to 2.1 patch 6 and then copy it over...however,....getting that done by Monday might be a minor miracle.

Differences in patch levels are: Dev mid-tier = 7.1 Patch 004, Prod mid-tier = 7.1 Patch 002. Dev CMDB = 2.1 Patch 6, Prod CMDB = 2.0.1 Unpatched. I tried unsuccessfully to run the midtier.exe for 7.1 Patch 002 on dev, and I am a tad leary of running the CMDB installer for 2.0.1 since it's already 2.1 Patch 6. I have to have them in synch by Monday and I can't think of what else to do, other then copy my production app server environment over to my development environment. Since our prod environment has three servers, web, SQL, and App servers, and Dev environment is all on one server: I think I need to copy the D:\Program Files\AR System directory from Prod App Server to the Dev AR System Directory, in order to get patch levels synched up to match the prod environment. Can anyone help me out with steps to take to accomplish this? I have been searching .pdf's for hours with no success.
