I wouldn't usually blog about qptool command extensions, but I only found this one today, and if you are doing an upgrade of pre-2.06 quickplaces, this is very handy.
If you have ever upgraded an old quickplace environment to QP 3 or higher, you will know the command "Load qptool upgrade -a" to upgrade the places. Unfortunately, if the quickplace you are upgrading comes from a pre-2.06 environment, you will get this lovely little error..
"Operation cannot be done on a pre-206 place"
This leaves the older places in the old format, and has causes link/author issues (well, it has for me in the past!)
Type in this command
"Load qptool upgrade -p oldplacename -f"
This forces the upgrade and ignores the errors. Nice one!
