Diagnoses

This issue may occur if 4.6.11 environment had the coldfix with internal ID 611518 applied which adds Email column and GetIdentityPropertyValue function to Identity table in K2 DB. When this coldfix is installed you have to execute the following script before running upgrade to 4.7:

USE K2

BEGIN

ALTER TABLE >K2].RIdentity].]Identity]

DROP COLUMN Email

DROP FUNCTION >Identity].IGetIdentityPropertyValue]

END

This coldfix is already included in 4.7 release OOB. These table and column created with coldfix installation in K2 4.6.11 have to be dropped before attempting upgrade to 4.7. Future (post 4.7) versions of K2 installer should implement better handling of these existing SQL objects.
 

Resolution

After dropping column and function you should be able to complete upgrade process without errors.
