We have repeatedly tried to upgrade Portal 10.9.1 to 11.2 with no luck. We've opened a support ticket with no solution as of yet.
The process:
Checking cluster versions ok
Checking database user is the install user ok
Checking database connection settings ok
Checking for prepared transactions ok
Checking for system-defined composite types in user tables ok
Checking for reg* data types in user tables ok
Checking for contrib/isn with bigint-passing mismatch ok
Checking for user-defined encoding conversions ok
Checking for user-defined postfix operators ok
Checking for incompatible polymorphic functions ok
Creating dump of global objects ok
Creating dump of database schemas
gwdb
postgres
template1
ok
Checking for presence of required libraries ok
Checking database user is the install user ok
Checking for prepared transactions ok
Checking for new cluster tablespace directories ok
If pg_upgrade fails after this point, you must re-initdb the
new cluster before continuing.
Performing Upgrade
------------------
Analyzing all rows in the new cluster ok
Freezing all rows in the new cluster ok
Deleting files from new pg_xact ok
Copying old pg_xact to new server
*failure*
Consult the last few lines of "pg_upgrade_utility.log" for
the probable cause of the failure.
Failure, exiting
It appears that the copying failure is causing the issue of the incorrect user being used. Looks like it is defaulting to using the OS user when it later tries to start the DB.
Anyone seen this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
ESRI was less than helpful. Their next solution is to migrate to a fresh 10.9.1 Portal install on another machine and try again. We'll be doing the migration Monday, and then try the upgrade again within a few weeks.
try resetting your portal database admin account, that fixes the issue for us.
Hi, I seem to have the same issue. Can I ask to which db admin account you have resetted? the default postgres one, the one for the technical user running the ArcSOC process, the username for the portal admin,...?
Goto the Portaladmin --> System --> Database.
I tried changing it. I guess it changed the user (even though the user interface on portaladmin throws an error). I was hoping to set it to the same user as the technical account running the installation, but unfortunately that password contains special characters 🙃
We have tried several times as well from 10.9.1 to 11.2 and our upgrade fails.
Hi @RandyBonds_Jr_ and @CraigSwadner
I'm a bit late to the topic. But we just had a similiar behavior at an Upgrade from 10.8.1 to 11.3.
We had to install Visual C++ (64bit) Redistributable for 2013 to make it work. Without it the postgresql database in the background could not start and start the upgrade.

This is what ended up working for us:
The name of the portal admin and the windows users (ours is a domain account) had to match. Once we did that, we were able to upgrade with no issue.
Hi Team,
Any other work around without matching the portal admin account with service account?
I have similar issue while upgrading from 10.8.1 to 10.9.1 and the services are not starting after the upgrade.
