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)
