error: package name 0 is missing

Because of DMP error, csppeek failed
Warning cdbopen: object <dump_name> is not a dump

Also, loading or attaching to the raw crashdump gave an error
dump belongs to a different PDE version

Environment/Conditions/Configuration

Cause

/etc/opt/teradata/tdconfig/control.gdo does not have correct packages names.



Solution :

Correct control.gdo using ctl. No need to restart the database, or, no need to bring the database down to make these changes.

After correcting the control.gdo, next time the crashdump is generated, won't have "CTL GDO error: package name 0 is missing" the issue.
