DB conversion error...

[fdscadmin]

I am trying to test the latest build, but there are troubles when it try to convert my test db. The db is version 6.3.4.0->6.8.0.0. I get the following error:

"ContextSwitchDeadlock was detected"

anyone else with this problem? Solutions? Thoughts?

[jordansparks]

No. That's a new one for me. I'm going to guess the problem is with 6.8 rather than 6.7 or earlier, because we have so many users already on 6.7 with no complaints.

[fdscadmin]

Never mind...if i just hit continue it eventually converted.

Oh, maybe I have seen that. If running it in debug, Visual Studio thinks it's been waiting too long.

Hi,
I tried to convert database from 6.7 to 6.8 but it gave me error Filed 'NewerDays' doesn't have a default value. Conversion unsuccessful.
Any idea? whats the problem?

I would be interested in having you post your existing ini file so that we can see and test it. It should be possible for us to add a meaningful error message instead of having it crash like that. But we would need to see the ini file in order to do so. Thank you.

Thanks for immediate response. I emailed you my ini file.

Thank you. We made a few changes, and in the future nobody else should run into this problem.
