In the process of migrating a Version 7 Database to Version 9 Database. We are receiving the following message during the pick of existing database step.

What disk is this message referring to? The SQL Server has both a data drive (161 GB free )and log drive (108 GB free). We have successfully tested the migration in the past without issues.

Also, what is the expected growth for the migration from a Version 7 DB to a Version 9 DB.

Are you having the migration utility create the database for you or is the LF 9 database already created with the data and log files on separate drives and you are just pointing to that existing database to use as the destination for the migration?

This wouldn't happen to be a SQL Express edition, would it? If so, it might be referring to the db size max limit imposed by SQL. Otherwise, I'd suggest double checking where new databases are created. If that doesn't provide any insight, you'll probably want to log the migration and provide that to Support.

This is not a SQL Express version. SQL is setup to separate the data and log files on different drives.

Are you suggesting that we click to continue and run the migration then pass the log to support? I already brought this to the attention of support and they told me to go to pre-sales and answers.

What is the expected growth of the database for 1 million documents in V7 compared to V9 with a template of about 7 fields? In a previous successful migration the restored V7 was approximately 45 GB and when migrated the V9 database expanded to 130 GB.

It turns out that the user that we were using to run the migration utility did not have access to the master database. The security on the user was setup with dbcreator only. We had an empty database created and were able to get through the migration utility without the prompt.

Thanks for all support!

Sounds good. We'll follow up with our development team still as you should be presented with a more accurate error message in that situation.
