Data conversion from 2014 to 2021 fails on FEATURES table when converting to Firebird.

Question

Subject pretty much says it all. 
 
 2014 data verification completes with no errors. 
 2021 data conversion succeeds in converting to 2015 bde. 
 2021 data conversion hangs permanently when converting bde to firebird at the FEATURES table. 
 
 I've tried completing this on the server, from a workstation, and from a workstation with a local copy of the DB. It always fails at the same place. 
 
 Can anyone help me out with a hint or even a solution? 
 
 Thanks!

The correction is to create an empty database in 2014. Take the FEATURES.* files from it ( not FeaturesUsage - that's a different table) and overwrite the one's in your original 2014 database. You will probably have to restore your 2014 pre-Data Conversion backup to get back to that level. 
 Also there is no 2016 version of database tables. There were zero differences in the data tables and 2015 is the last BDE version for conversion purposes. 
 Timeslips support can help with this if you need assistance. Premium customers will have a support plan. It's also possible for us to send you a 2015 FEATURES table you can use without having to revert to the restore process and creation of an empty database.
