Description: The issue occurrers when we install the CU for SharePoint 2013 and runs the PSconfig.PSCONFIG failed with an error. When we check the Upgrade log we see the error” The operation cannot be performed on database "WSS_UsageApplication"

Solution: As In my environment we put the WSS_UsageApplication under high availability. Once, I removed it from the high availability group and run the PSconfig it worked successfully.

Ensure to  remove “WSS_UsageApplication” from the availability group before applying a CU and add it when the upgraded is completed if necessary.

Ensure  to remove “WSS_UsageApplication” under high availability from the Primary node only.
