Corrupted data file found when upgrading

From Cumulus MX version 3 build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since, and has recently released Cumulus MX version 4. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Corrupted data file found when upgrading

Post by Peasantmk2 »

Hello!
I have finally got round to upgrading to v4, and it all went well apart from a small error in migrating the data. The output told me there was a problem with Sep20log.txt, and to fix it and run the conversion again. When I tried to open the file in notepad I just got gobbledygook so I guess the file is corrupted.
When I have upgraded in the past I have renamed the CumulusMX folder, so have copies going all the way back to when I upgraded to MX in the first place. It appears the corruption has possibly happened when I upgraded or shortly after.
Now, it's not a show stopper - v4 is working fine - but it would be interesting to know if there is anything I can do to recover the file. Thanks.

I know this isn't all that helpful but have you tried re-conversion using the original (V3) log file?

Does the original log file look correct?

I haven't tried that, but the original file looks just the same when opened in Notepad. I'm guessing that the corruption happened when I first moved to MX, but I don't know.

No worries, it's not a show stopper.
