SqlCompare stucks at 'Populate ObjectText'

SeriousMSeriousM Posts: 15
Hi,

when i compare a sql 2008 r2 database with a windows azure database the comparer stucks at "Reading object context".
WHen i look into the log where is the step "Populate ObjectText" where it hangs.

I used the version: 10.2.6.114 because it can handle the renaming operations in azure better.

Here is a screenshot:

  • Your log contains the following entry:

    17:38:39.045|Warn |SQL Compare Engine |9 |Could not run DBCC DBINFO - cannot decrypt text objects.

    This likely indicates a permissions issue.

    Is the account you are using to perform the comparison a member of the sysadmin server role?

  • Hi,

    it turned out that a reboot was required after the update 10.0 to 10.2.6.114.

    Problem solved, thanks!

    Cheers
