During an application analysis the analysis ends up with the DB error "Invalid category 'comment' used in type 'CAST_Oracle_RelationalTable' ".
Please find the screen shot below:
Below are the warnings in the analysis log:
The problem is because of the fact that the extraction has been made with a different extractor version than the one used for analysis.
The analysis is run with CAST version 8.0.0 and the extractor being used is of version 2.6 (find the below screen shot of CASTDatabase.config ) which was released after 8.0.0. Category "Comment" is extracted from a different version which 8.0.0 does not handle.
If the extraction is done with a higher version of CAST AIP and the analysis is run in a lower version of CAST AIP, then we get this error.
