Version 6.9.6.7487 of WebMarshal is not officially supported on Microsoft’s SQL Server 2012 and I wanted to find out if it would work. I installed WebMarshal on to a Windows Server 2012 box for the application server with a backend SQL Server 2012. Following the install procedure for WebMarshal was pretty simple and everything worked great up until the option to create an SQL database. I had previously created my SQL authentication login and password created and I had allowed for SQLServer, SQLBrowser and SQLServer (Port 1433) Inbound on my database server. However I received the error “Could not find stored procedure’sp_dboption'”. The database and log files had been mostly created but the process crashed out.
I proceded to do some research on changes to SQL2012 and came across a few others that had similar problems with other applications. It turns out (suprisingly) that Microsoft had removed the ‘sp_dboption’ from SQL 2012. I continued researching this across Microsoft sites and others until I came across a site by Paul Nezhencev. On this site Paul stated that you can recreate the ‘sp_dboption’ from 2008R2 on the SQL 2012 server and provided an SQL script to do so. The script was great except for a minor error, due to Microsoft having removed (what a surprise) the built-in function ‘databaseproperty’ in favour of ‘databasepropertyex’.
After making the minor modification to the script and running it in the SQL Server Management Studio, I received the message Command(s) completed successfully.
I then went back to my WebMarshal install which I had left at the point of error and told it to create the database again but replace existing as I had no data in the current one. The install proceeded smoothly after this and within minutes I had a fully functioning WebMarshal application.
I have included below the code from Paul with the modifications in case anyone else as the same problem.
