The Application Builder attempted to upgrade an older style database from IBM Informix 4GL to a new style that uses NewEra failed. This process involves creating a series of new tables and modifying and moving the data.
The error might occur because of lack of permissions. The owner of the database should perform the upgrade.
The error could be due to a full disk. The upgrade does not erase old information until it has been written and verified, and then only if requested. The amount of free space that an upgrade requires is approximately equal to the amount that the older database uses.
