Question

What do the different messages (A_ERROR, A_WARNING, A_INFO) in the Upgrade Express logs indicate?

Answer

* The A_INFO messages are the lowest severity. They should be read, but, generally, don't require any special action.

* The A_WARNING messages may or may not require action. If the "3. Run Upgrade Express" step is being run, then messages such as the following will appear:

"A_WARNING: The file xxxx already exists!" -- in regard to which, see the article " Upgrade Express: "A_WARNING: The file xxxx already exists!" " (KB 16384-63441).

* The A_ERROR messages usually require action. The most common are:

1. "Merge manually" messages, in regard to which, see the articles:
    a. " Upgrade Express: "The file can not be upgraded automatically. Merge manually!" "   (KB 16384-26529)  and
    b.  " Dealing with UE warning & error messages for XSL files " (KB 16384-30804) 

2. "The table znn does not exist in xxxnn", in regard to which, see the article " Upgrade Express: "A_ERROR: The table znn does not exist in xxxnn" " (KB 16384-63474) 

Additional Information

The Upgrade Express main.log indicates for each step either "OK" or "FAILURE".

Errors reported, Warnings reported, or Information reported.

The individual step nnnn.log file will have, in the case of ...
