Do the plc and purger services need to be running if I want the PERF database schema be updated automatically when I am activating the upgrade in the cluster?

Yes. If these services are not running in the cluster when the upgrade is being activated, the Activation Console will not be able to determine which host is configured correctly to run PERF. Without this knowledge, the PERF database schema cannot be updated automatically. Start the plc and purger services and restart the Activation Console.

If you wish to manually update the database schema you can use the sql scripts provided:

  1. in the %EGO_TOP%\perf\soam\4.1\DBschema/<database type>\Patch directory (Windows)

  2. in the $EGO_TOP/perf/soam/4.1/DBschema/<database type>/Patch directory (UNIX/Linux)
