Additional Information

This issue is a duplicate of BUG-000145734 and is resolved in ArcGIS Pro 3.0 and ported to 2.9.3.

Workaround

Workaround 1

Use this workflow when the database is not restored after the failed upgrade attempt.

  1. Delete the OBJECT_FLAGS2 column from sde.TABLE_REGISTRY added from the failed upgrade attempt.
  2. Connect as SDE from ArcCatalog 10.8.1 and upgrade the geodatabase. This creates the missing BRANCH_UTIL package and the BRANCHES and BRANCH_TABLES_MODIFIED tables.
  3. Connect as SDE from ArcGIS Pro 2.9.2 and upgrade the geodatabase.

Workaround 2

A Desktop client at the same version as the geodatabase can be used to upgrade the geodatabase internals when the following are true:

  • The message, "Database internals such as stored procedures can be upgraded" is returned.
  • The 'Upgrade Geodatabase' option is enabled.
