Failed to init object tables (TBS/TAB)

Article created: Apr 25 1999, updated: Apr 25 1999

Background:  After upgrading to v6.002 from an earlier version, the message "Failed to init object tables (TBS/TAB)" appears on the first query request. Further processes do not function.
Status:  Bug - with workaround
Keywords:  object table,tbs,tab,upgrade,diagram,report
Categories:   *Configuration* *Errors / crashes* *Diagrams*

Explanation:
A backup file (city.bak, where city is your config name) is created when editing some of the config files. When the program attempts to update the city.tab file, it tries to rename it to city.bak. If city.bak already exists, this process fails and the update fails.

Solution:
Erase the city.bak file in your data directory and try again.
