We have a training site that periodically needs to be refreshed from a backup. We backup the Nintex and Content databases and restore as needed. We upgraded to a new version of Nintex and restored the older version to the farm which made the Nintex DB show up in the CheckDatabaseVersion output. 

Is there a way to run UpgradeDatabases on a single Nintex DB or is there a different way to upgrade a single Nintex DB ot the latest version?

Thanks

Hello,

I think you can do it using nwadmin

NWAdmin.exe -o UpgradeDatabases [-database <database connection string>] [-isConfig]

For more information have a look here:

NWAdmin Operations - Nintex Workflow 2013 

Kind regards,

Enrico

Yeah...I looked at that and it seemed ambiguous. ON the one hand it says "This is the same as clicking the ‘upgrade now’ link in the Nintex Workflow database management page in SharePoint Central Administration". But then the description for the -database parameter is "The connection string to the database to be upgraded." which uses the singular. But the verbiage in the -isConfig param kind of makes it clear that it can be a single DB. So looks like we can indeed.

Thanks Enrico!
