Problems starting unloaded database after upgrading from SA 11.0.1(build 2744) to SA 16 (build 1823)

[Former Member]

I tried to upgrade a Database from SA version 11.0.1 (build 2744) to version 16.0.0 (build 1823) by unloading the existing database. I used the dbunload.exe (64bit) in the console with the parameters
-c (directly access with path to database) and -ar (because of using SQLRemote). The unload-process was successful without any raiserrors but now i can't start the database-server or backup the database before starting it.

errormessage:

Unable to start specified database: Cannot use log file '%1' since it has been used more recently than the database file

• Error constant: SQLE_LOG_NEWER_THAN_DB
• ODBC 2 state: 08001
• ODBC 3 state: 08001
• Parameter 1: The name of the transaction log mirror file.
• Severity: 11
• SQLCODE: -1016
• SQLSTATE: 08W80
• Sybase error code: 840

Do anybody know the problem and have a solution?

There is a mismatch between the log offsets according to the database file and the current transaction log.

Have you specified a directory path after -ar?

What files are contained in the database folder and in the offline log folder?

The following doc page (here for v12.0.1) tells some that are done by DBUNLOAD -ar automatically, and that may give some clues. With the help of DBLOG and DBTRAN you may find out why the log offset information does not match.
