Title
Importing transports in versions 8.1.x forces 'Single User Mode' -
Description
When attempting to import a transport into a version 8.1.x environment, the admin user is prompted to set the database to 'Single User Mode' and close all other connections to the database.
In previous versions of the product this did not occur.
-
Cause
This is by design. This behavior was introduced in version 8.1. -
Resolution
This feature can be disabled if the transport is run via the command line using the -U switch. More information can be found in the Operations Guide under the heading DBTransporterCMD.exe.
More information is provided in the Installation Guide, under Importing a transport package with the Database Transporter section.
As well as the Operations Guide, under Notes about importing transport packages.
As stated, "The database is set to single-user mode for the duration of the import. Close all existing connections to the database before starting the import."
