The SQL upgrade phase takes a long time in my experience. I don't know exactly how long, but in the two upgrades I've done I let it run and found something else to do in the meantime and eventually it completed. The "Solid" database they are using is apparently not much of a speed demon.
If waiting doesn't work then you can find error logs that might explain what the problem is here: /opt/WCS<version>/webnms/db/eval_kit/standalone Doesn't that "eval_kit" path name for the dbase files just fill you with confidence? :-) The last time I had issues I found a Solid problem (ahem) due to a full partition on our Linux server causing the dbase to fail. We moved /opt to a bigger partition and that fixed it. After the "automatic" upgrade to 4.2 completed I had the usual result from an upgrade: tomcat was running and the database wasn't so you got the nice shiny Web login page but login names didn't work. I've had luck with the sequence of the "StopWCS" and then "StartWCS" commands in /opt/WCS<n>/ to get things running correctly. There's also a "WCSStatus" command that is handy. -Charles Charles E.
