FACT(s) (Environment):

All Supported Operating Systems
OpenEdge 10.x
OpenEdge 10.1A

SYMPTOM(s):

Errors 9971 and 9972 version 1 trying to start a database using 10.1A or previous version after migrating it to 10.1B

Errors 9971 and 9972 version 1 trying to open a database using 10.1A or previous version after migrating it to 10.1B

Invalid before image version number found in bi file . (9971)

This is a version 7 bi file. (9972)

This is a version <version-number> bi file. (9972)

CAUSE:

The error message 9971 happens because the database manager, while opening the database, checks for the version number of the bi file in the block header of the bi file.
In 10.1B, due to the implementation of the 64-bits DB-keys the bi file version must be changed. This change happens when you first open the database.
If then you try to open the database again on 10.1A or 10.0x, the errors 9971 and 9972 with version 7 will appear.

FIX:


Always use revert utility in 10.1B before opening it using a previous version.
See solution P123167 on instructions on how to use revert utility.
