    From Windchill 12.1.0.2 to 12.1.2.0, it is not a "Upgrade", it is a "Update" process. You can refe to the below Help Center process via PSI to update the existing system from 12.1.0.2 to 12.1.2.0:

      When you imported the source DB, it was to an empty DB right? It should not have any schema from the 12.1 install but should be a complete import of your previous version source DB. Is this the first or second rehersal? After any upgrade attempt, you need to revert 12.1 install area to a golden state before any upgrade changes were made. I suspect the Upgrade Manager is seeing hold overs from previous attemps in the database or localling in the application area.
