IT27525: DBEXPORT/DBIMPORT OF A DATABASE WHICH HAS BLADES INSTALLED DOESEN'T WORK PROPERLY

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using a dbexport of a database with Timesseries of version
  11.70 to dbimport it in version 12.10. will leave database
  inaccessible.
  The dbimport fails with
  
  *** prepare loadobj
  9793 - User Defined Routine (assign) module load failed.
  
  which is understandable because of the wrong path names for TS
  procedures in the dbexport
  
  online.log:
  
  08:09:03 (-1): ERROR: Loading Module
  <$INFORMIXDIR/extend/TimeSeries.5.00.FC4/TimeSeries.bld>
  
  Sometime it is possible to workaround this with creating a link
  for this path.
  
  But now the database is corrupted. A DROP DATABASE fails with
  214: Cannot remove file for table (informix.tscontainertable)
  
  A DROP TABLE tscontainertable fails with
  214: Cannot remove file for table (informix.tscontainertable).
  110: ISAM error: end or beginning of the file.
  too.
  
  To reproduce use dbaccessdemo7 database, dbexport it and
  dbimport it into another version.
