Model, Component, and Package Management > Model management > Model Explorer > Command line interface - ScfUtils > Upgrading a database through ScfUtils (Model Explorer)

ScfUtils provides a command line interface for performing Model Explorer functions. For a complete list of ScfUtils functions, refer to Overview of command line interface for Model Explorer functions

Through ScfUtils, you can upgrade a Database. Model Explorer upgrades a database when you attempt to open a Model that resides in a Database that requires upgrading.

If you have installed Modeler to the default locations, ScfUtils resides in the following location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC Integrity Modeler\Modeler\Exe\SCFUtils.exe

Syntax:

ScfUtils -upgrade Enterprise \\SQL\<server>@<instance>\<database>"

Where:

• <server> specifies the name of the server on which the Database resides. The case of the name must be correct.

• <database> specifies the name of the Database you want to upgrade. The case of the name must be correct.

Example:

ScfUtils -upgrade Enterprise "\\SQL\MyServer@MODELER\MyDatabase"

ScfUtils displays an error if the database you are upgrading is in use by another user.
