Issue/Introduction

Error Message :
U00000002 EXISTS

When upgrading the Automation Engine to version 11.2.4+hf.2.build.777, the DB Load utility will fail with the error message when attempting to load the Initialdata (UC_UPD.TXT).

This is only affects AE version using the Inital Data version 11.2.4+hf.2.build.777.

In case the very same error message shows up, but Initial Data is not on version “11.2.4+hf.2.build.777”, the resolution in this article will not be effective.
 
Due to a bug in the Initial Data version mentioned above, the object name and object number of an Initial Data object was mixed up.
This has no impact to the system at all! Everything is working as expected.

However the next update of the Automation Engine will fail. That means, once this version is installed, an update to a newer version will not work.

During the upgrade of the AE database, the load of the Initialdata “UC_UPD.TXT”, the DB Load will fail with the error:

U00000002 EXISTS

This is what the DB Load log looks like:

This error doesn’t necessary mean, that it is exactly this issue. Only a database trace level 4 of the DB Load process shows the affected object and will look like:
