The server detects a protocol error while upgrading the database because a verb has been received that does not adhere to the defined verb sequence. This error may be the result of using a version of the DSMUPGRD utility that is not compatible with the TSM 6.1 version to which you are upgrading.
The command ends without inserting any data into the database.
Rerun the command using a version of the server compatible with the version of DSMUPGRD used to extract the data. Or reextract the data using an older version of DSMUPGRD that is compatible with the version of the server.
