***************
Customer has Co-Res SES system and after server replaced the SES backup restoration was failing with same error as above
The User had activated SP7b sometime ago on the old SES system and later they de-activated the patch and removed it and than took a backup of the server. The installed the new server and did not apply any patch for SES and they attempted to restore the translations which would fail with above error
The backup’s logs are showing that at the time they did the backup of the SES database, the patch was indeed just “unpacked”. But because of the schema version, apparently that patch must have been activated at some point but then was deactivated.
Customer system without SES patch:
mvss=# select * from local_parameters;
application | scope | name | value

Backup file we wanted to restore:
COPY local_parameters (application, scope, name, value) FROM stdin;
boot system role master
