Symptom

The following error message is recorded in the Altibase trace log altibase_boot.log below and in $ALTIBASE_HOME/trc/altibase_boot.log.

 

Cause

The description of the error can be checked using the altierr utility as follows.

$ altierr 0x7101D
0x7101D ( 462877) cmERR_ABORT_PROTOCOL_HEADER_ERROR Protocol header error.(<0%s>)
# *Cause: Protocol header error
# *Action: Please send a bug report to the vendor.

This error is a message recorded in the server's altibase_boot.log when an incompatible version of the Altibase server attempts to connect to the server.

This message leaves history and does not affect the operation of the Altibase server.

 

Solution

If this error message continues to be logged, find the client trying to connect and reinstall the client with a version compatible with the server.

 

Reference

  • In the versions below Altibase version 5.3.3, the server and the client must have the same cm protocol version to connect from the client to the server.

  • From version 5.3.3 or higher of Altibase, backward compatibility between the server and the client is guaranteed, so that regardless of the cm protocol version, the client can connect to the server of the same version or higher version.

  • However, in the opposite case, that is, if the version of the client is higher than that of the server, the connection is not made.

  • The version referred to here means the first 3 digits of the product version. (The patch version of the 4th digit or less does not matter when checking the version.)

Connection result

Remark

Server Version> Client Version
(Version 5.3.3 or later)

6.3.1

5.3.3

Successful

Backward compatibility guaranteed in version 5.3.3 or later

Server Version> Client Version
(Versions earlier than 5.3.3)

6.3.1

4.3.9

Failed

Backward compatibility guaranteed when both server and client are version 5.3.3 or later.
Since the client is earlier than 5.3.3, backward compatibility is not guaranteed, and in the case of 4.3.9, the connection is only possible if the cm protocol version is the same.

Server version <client version

6.1.1

6.3.1

Failed

If the client version is high, the connection fails regardless of the Altibase version.
The client version must be the same as or earlier than the server version.
