Hi,

I am getting an error while converting 10.2B database to 11.3 verion using the command
PROUTIL lostart.db -C conv1011
Open failed. Database unusable due to partial conversion.<1115>

Please tell what causing this error.

TIA
-Philip-

It sounds like conv1011 failed.

Does the .lg file say anything more?

Did you truncate bi prior to attempting to convert?

Do you have a backup?

Yes I did truncation.
Please see the lg file listing.
I have a backup.

That usually happens when the conv1011 failed. This happend to me when we upgraded our production systems. On one system the Unix admin was convinced that the conv1011 process just "hung" and therefore killed it. The only way to recover was to restore the OE10 backup that we had taken upfront and then run the conv1011 again - this time with success. Needless to say that I did everything to have that particular Unix admin as far away as possible from our production systems.
