pdm_load -u -f r17_1_update.dat
pdm_load -u -f r17_2_update.dat


Both files produce "Errors: Attempt to insert row in update only mode."

The install.log file under  C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SC\logsXXXX (XXXX is a date/time string) also specify

Environment

SDM 17.1/17.2 Migration or Installation

Cause

Both extract files reference table l1admin_general_config and are manipulating IDs 4189 and 4190, which do not exist in the backend database table

Resolution

Record id's 4189 and 4190 were being updated on table l1admin_general_config are no longer of concern as they pertain to the older OpenFire functionality used in xFlow for collaboration, which is no longer being used. The functionality is being handled by native microservices. 

In the r17_2_update.dat file, the same table names both of these rows by their ID and has a delete_flag set to "1" which effectively means the entries are to be disregarded. Their absence would have the same effect, though it is understandable to why this could appear to be a concern, when it is a false alarm.
