I see that I am able to step in couple of initialization modules and then it abrutly exits and i see exception as mentioned above. However this goes through fine on a new database. How can I check the dependency that is causing the null exception.
Hey,
I hope you followed proper steps to upgrade. But there are plenty of blogs that may help you in investigate the issue.
https://optimizely.blog/2021/11/upgrading-episerver-cms-11-to-optimizely-cms-12-porting-to-net-5/
Do you have explicit GUIDs declared on your content types? I had an issue with that when doing an upgrade a few months ago. I had to go into the CMS11 version, add GUIDs and publish. Then in the CMS12 version, I reused the same GUIDs for the CMS12 version of the content types there.
I was having issues with latest version where DB version was 8011. I did downgrade assemblies couple minor version to where it uses 8009 version of database and that helped resolved the issue. I will research later on why the latest version was throwing error.
I am upgrading a solution from CMS 11 to 12. After ensuring all content types are available in new solution, I am able to launch the site with a brand new empty database. However when I switch to existing database which I had with CMS 11, I am getting initialization error. What could I be missing. I tried to debug through initialization modules but couldn't find anything relevant
