    If at least one extractor in application &V1& is active in a client,
    there is a danger that V3 update entries will occur during the
    extractor change and that these will terminate the update.

    How to fix this error?

    If you cannot ensure that no documents are being posted to the extract
    structures in application &V1& when you change the extract structures,
    you should deactivate the affected updates.
