BCP cannot continue.
This issue occurs if the vCenter Server SQL database has different versions of BCP installed.In this case BCP cannot identify the correct resources to run properly.For more information about BCP, see bcp Utility.
To resolve this issue, Access the machine where your SQL Server is installed on.Open a command prompt.Execute the command: bcp.exe. If you receive the error: Unable to load BCP resource DLL. BCP cannot continue, continue with step 4. If you receive a list of parameters the command can run with and the logs contain the mentioned errors see Additional information, file a support request with VMware Support. For more information, see How to file a Support Request in Customer Connect (2006985)Open a file explorer and go to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Bin\Resources" (path might differ depending on the Version of SQL Server you are using and custom install paths).If this folder contains more folders than a folder with the name "1033", move all other folders to a backup location.Execute the command again: bcp.exe. If you now receive a list of parameters the command can run with, perform the migration again. If the command is still not giving you a list of parameters, file a support request with VMware Support. The following picture displays a working BCP:
