Upgrade 11.0.3 -> 12 failed in post rebuild: Invalid favorite_link

Hi, 

currently upgrading an instance from 11.0.3 to 12. On 11.0.3 with PHP: 7.4.3 and Mysql: 5.7.38. Everything seems to work correctly. When we start the upgrade with the silent installer (or ui installer doesn't matter much) we eventually hit the following error:

We already tried the following but without any luch: 

- truncate the relationships table in the database (it's not used anymore to my knowledge)

- prior upgrade hit the repair relationships and do a quick repair / rebuild. 

Does anyone else have any idea what the cause could be and most importantly a solution.

  • Encountered similar issues with 11.0.3 to 12.0.0 upgrade at the script 2_Rebuild stage and then at other points after.  Tried both strategies with php 7.4/mysql 5.7 as well as php 8/mysql 8... had to use the -S continue flag and step through various script failures, made it feel super untested in general.  It would be helpful if we could have clarity on which versions are supported/required for the upgrade silent installer itself at the time the scripts are run (vs which versions of php/mysql are supported post-upgrade). Thanks Jeroen for sharing some of your experience here.

  • I usually check the Supported Platforms documentation and go for the highest version supported by both the old and the new version, there is always an overlap.

    In this case MySQL v8.0 and PHP 7.4

    See: 

    https://support.sugarcrm.com/Resources/Supported_Platforms/Sugar_11.0.x_Supported_Platforms/

    and

    https://support.sugarcrm.com/Resources/Supported_Platforms/Sugar_12.0.x_Supported_Platforms/

    I then perform the Sugar Upgrade.
    And only after that perform any further upgrades to the stack (like moving to PHP 8.0)
