Issue/Introduction

During upgrade, we are hitting a failure. The error message is the following:

12/11/19 4:51 PM (ExecTask)

Note: This error can be on a different table as well, it will still be the same problem

Environment

Release : All supported Clarity releases

Resolution

This indicates that during the upgrade there was a query locking this table on database level so the install script could not upgrade it. 

To proceed:
1. Please rollback both files and database to previous version
2. Connect and pause all jobs 
3. If there are any Processing jobs please wait until they complete or cancel and delete them
4. Stop the services
5. Ask the DBA to confirm all Clarity sessions are stopped and nothing running on the database and nothing locking table CMN_SCH_JOB_RUNS
6. Restart the upgrade
