JIRA Upgrade to 6.3 from 6.2.6 fails

[Toni_Zeitler]

I just tried to upgrade JIRA 6.2.6 to 6.3 and now I am stuck with a broken database and nothing runs anymore. There a no additional plugins installed, it was just a plain JIRA 6.2.6. Is there a way to fix that - except reinstallation of a clean 6.2.6 and restoring a backup?

An error occurred performing JIRA upgrade

Exception thrown during upgrade: Ungültiger Objektname 'jiraeventtype'.
java.sql.SQLException: Ungültiger Objektname 'jiraeventtype'.

I think you should open a support case at https://support.atlassian.comfor this - you're missing a column that should be there, they should be able to get you back on track.
