Intersystems Cache Unexpected error occurred: <WIDE CHAR>

Question

I am trying to load in an old CACHE.DAT database into Intersystems Cache (2012.1.1 win32 evaluation). I've managed to create a namespace and database, and I'm able to query some of the database tables.

However, for other tables, I get the following error:

ERROR #5540: SQLCODE -400 Message: Unexpected error occurred: <WIDE CHAR>

The documentation tells me that this means that a multibyte character is read where a one byte character is expected. I suspect this might mean that the original database was in UTF-16, while my new installation is using UTF-8.

My question is: is there a way to either convert the database, to configure Cache so that it can deal with , or to deal with this problem in another way?

Answer 1

maybe the original database was created in unicode installation and current installation 8-bit

Caché read a multibyte character where a 1-byte character was expected.

Answer 2

you can send your cboot.log from mgr directory ?
for example first lines in my cboot.log
