FIXED BDC – Database is in compatibility range and upgrade is recommended
I noticed the message “BdcServiceDatabase – Database is in compatibility range and upgrade is recommended” in Central Admin. This often seems to come up after applying a CU patch.
The fix was just to run a quick PowerShell line to upgrade the database. Here it is for reference. Cheers! ![]()
(Get-SPDatabase | ?{$_.type -eq "Microsoft.SharePoint.BusinessData.SharedService.BdcServiceDatabase"}).Provision()

why on a new SP deployment after applying the July CU am I seeing this on My intranet and mysite Content DB, along with Admin_Content, SharePoint_Config and WSS_Logging DBs?
I used upgrade DB to resolve this on the intranet and mysite content db, but it says db cannot be found if I try to Upgrade-SPContentDatabase for SharePoint_Admin_Content and SharePoint_Config. I have no idea how to resolve for WSS_Logging .
Suggestions?
I forgot to mention, for the BDC what you covered here worked perfectly! Thanks
Cool, thanks Roy! Yeah, I’m not sure about the CU patch inner workings but I have noticed those other database show as “Upgrade Available.” Overall, it seems best to run the EXE, SP Config Wizard, Upgrade-SPDatabase, and maybe even .Provision() for BDC to get everything current.
