Explanation
The client is unable to establish a connection.
The following error message is output to $ALTIBASE_HOME/trc/altibase_boot.log.
Cause
The following error description can be viewed with the AltiErr utility:
$ 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 message is written to altibase_boot.log when a client of a version incompatible with the server tried to establish a connection.
This error keeps a message history and does not adversely affect the Altibase server.
Action
If this error persists, find the client that is attempting to connect, then re-install it with a version compatible with the server.
Reference
If this error persists, find the client that is attempting to connect and re-install it with a version compatible with the server.
1. For ALTIBASE HDB 5.3.1 or below, the cm protocol version of the server and client must be identical for the client to connect to the server.
2. For ALTIBASE HDB 5.3.3 or above, backward compatibility for the server and client is supported.
The client can connect to a server of the same or newer version regardless of its cm protocol version whereas, connection fails if the client is of a newer version than the server.
In this context, the first three numbers of a product version are denoted as the version (the fourth and succeeding numbers which indicate the patch versions are irrelevant).
