Apply Update 17 to Database Only

Hi All

We are on IFS9.

We had applied Update 17 to our test environment back in March/April. We recently refreshed Test with a backup of the Live database. Now we were hit with something I haven't seen since our earlier versions of IFS. We now have a mismatch between the Application and the database. e.g. wrong number of arguments... (yes, I should have spotted this, but furlough etc...)

Obviously the middleware is at Up17 and the database as per live is Up16.

Can I run the Update patch against the database only?? by checking only the option ‘Deploy database files’? Has anyone else had to do this?

We used to see similar issues back when we ran executables, and often a user would be using the same executables for both Live and Test, of which were often at different patch levels.

Surprisingly we have not hit this issue for years, i think because we would normally test the Update, and apply to Live fairly quickly afterwards. With Furlough etc, we have not kept up with this.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mike
