It happens on the upgrade from 4.1.6 to 4.1.10.7 (and tried also on 4.1.10). When I put the old wars files (alfresco and share) the platform works flawless.
We simply changed the war files from the old one to the new one and wait for the schema upgrade. We don't touch anything else and this method worked fine on DEV machines without problems. We don't use any installation wizard (using linux).
We tried the upgrade 3 times but everytime failed in the same point. It may be possible to recover the database but probably will have problems as long as the DB and the files are not backup exactly on the same moment.
The most surprising thing is that the war's old versions still working fine without problems.
What can I do to know what's the problem or at what point fails? Maybe activating something on the log, or what could I see?
Are there a mechanism to revert to the original database? Alfresco don't do the rollback if the upgrade fails? Is our task recover the database?
This is our error output:
