Error while installing IFRS Starter Kit in BO FC

Question

Hi Experts,
We are trying to install Starter Kit for IFRS SP1 in BO FC version 7.5. We are following the steps in the installation guide.
However while running the SCAN task, we encounter an error : "Processing task SCAN - (error) ". The log shows that
the packets are extracted, but it is not able to generate the receive tasks. What is the possible cause of this error?
The product information of FC  shows that "Build : 7.5.0.1021". How to find the service pack that is installed?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shoba

Ok,
The problem is the following : You can only install IFRS packages in a non signed database. Yours is signed as 0000.TOP so it will not work. Even if the goal is to have IFRS packages installed + 0000.TOP signature.
You should do the following :
1. Create a new empty database.
2. Create a new Finance Datasource in CtAdmin.msc which point to the new DB
3. Initialize it as a CHILD DB (All task / Migrate).
4. Connect to the application with ADMIN account and verify that the DB signature is empty (if it's not the case, you will have to switch SQL initialization querries back to child behaviour and restart from step 1).
5. Copy IFRS packages and configure the transfer vector (folder destination).
6. Create and execute the SCAN task
7. Execute each reception task
8. Change DB Signature from 0000.ROLL-OUT to 0000.TOP (SQL querries are documented in the IFRS installation guide).
Good luck
