System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Could not find stored procedure 'netSoftLinksGetBrokenCount'

 

Steps

The Store Procedure 'netSoftLinksGetBrokenCount' is not present in versions of CMS 12 before CMS version 12.13.1. Upgrading to this version at the minimum should show the stored procedure.

As a temporary workaround, you can execute the following SQL script to fix the issue if you cannot upgrade to version 12.13.1:

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[netSoftLinksGetBrokenCount]
@OwnerContentID int
AS
BEGIN
END

basically you create a dummy SP to allow the upgrade script to proceed
