Beta 2 on Mac: "Could not create the view: Unsupported or unrecognized format"

When I try to open a specific database, I only see a white screen with a stop sign and the message “Could not create the view: Unsupported or unrecognized format”.

This happens with multiple databases. Some are working, some not. Event if the design of two databases is absolutely the same I can open one and I’m receiving this error with the other one.

Any ideas what the reason could be?

Thanks,

Thomas

Subject: Thanks, Sarah! But unfortunately this is not listed in the readme_85_beta2.pdf.

There’s just mentioned, that upgrading a server is not supported.

Subject: Thanks Thomas - I’ll follow up <>

Subject: Hi Thomas - the Upgrade vs. Reinstall release note wasn’t picked up in the PDF (more)

Copy of the content is posted here -

Subject: This is a known issue

This is caused from upgrading between beta 1 and beta 2. The recommendation is to first uninstall beta 1 and then install beta 2. Alternately, a workaround if you do upgrade directly is to reboot, however upgrade is not supported in beta 2 and additional issues may be encountered.

Thanks!

Sarah

Issue is tracked with KLSG7H39CJ

Subject: SOLVED: It seems like also a Mac needs a reboot!

After a reboot the error is gone…

Also interesting is, that I’m able to use the database after I’ve created a new copy of it.
