Trying to upgrade a TDA100 from ver. 2 to 5. First tried with a new Win7 laptop(my trusty XP pro machine is in the shop), and I couldn't download the dsys file. When I would try to name it like I normally would I'd get "invalid file name". Borrowed an XP Pro machine from the customer, downloaded 7.1.1.4 UPCMC, installed it, connected to the TDA100, got the dsys file OK, disconnected from the TDA100, closed UPCMC, reopened UPCMC, browsed to that dsys file, UPCMC asks if I want to convert it to current version, I choose yes and give it a location and name and I get a "table ID nothing" error. Not sure what is going on. Anyone have any ideas?
Did you follow the steps on the upgrade instructions
exactly?
Yes. Very familiar with the process since I've had to upgrade a number of systems recently. I even tried to just covert the dsys file to version 3 to see what would happen and got the same error. Never had this issue before.
Backup compromised?
Try some other files you have on hand.
A rev 2 needed to be upgraded to a 3 before jumping to a 5!
Brokeda, file corruption is hard to tell, it opens fine with version 2. I'll try some others when I get my old laptop back.
Kxtvet, I suspected something like that, but I tried to convert it to version 3 by opening that specific programming tool and got the same error.
What I was saying was you needed to load 3 file to sd on the 2 then reinitialize re reg the system then upgrading to a 5 then covert database....
Just got off the phone to Panasonic tech support. One of our other tech's installed the MEC card without pre-installing it first. Apparantly that is what causes the "EA02005 Table ID Nothing" error. They also said that you can't just take the MEC card out and then do it. The official stance from Panasonic is to upgrade it to 5 and start from scratch. No biggie.
Thanks for the responses guys!
