SYMPTOM(s):
Problem migrating database
Load of data generated a .e file
ERROR! -d <mdy> or -yy <n> settings of dump were mdy-1900 ** but current settings are mdy-1950. May cause load errors.
CAUSE:
The setting for the -yy parameter between the database that was dumped to the database where the load occured is different.
In version 7.3x and below the -yy parameter was set to 1900 by default.
FIX:
The data is loaded into the database fine.
1) Since the default century (-yy) changed from 1900 to 1950, if the data is dumped from a pre-7.3D database into a newer database, set -yy 1900 on the commandline for the load. After the load is completed, exit and restart again without the century parameter at the commandline. This should resolve the issue.
2) A second possible reason that you received this error is that when you dumped your files, your date setting was different than it is today. Perhaps -d mdy became -d dmy. This can happen if you are loading into 8.2A+. These installations now copy over one of the .pf files associated with your language section during the installation. If you selected a non-English startup.pf, your -d setting may have changed. The workaround is similar to that which is described above. Start 8.2A+ with the same -d setting as when it was dumped, do your load, exit, then restart without using the -d parameter at startup from the commandline.
