Symptom

When you try to upgrade to SAP Business One version 9.2 or 9.3, the upgrade wizard fails without any
warning with the error message: "Failed, error code: -2004"

Reproducing the issue

Prerequisites:

You have a user-defined field (UDF) which is defined on a table missing in metadata.

Sample UDF defined on OPBU table:

1. In SAP Business One, go to Tools → Customization Tools → User-Defined Fields Management...

2. Expand section Payments → BudgetID.
3. Add the UDF with the name "Test" on BudgetID.

Scenario:

Perform the upgrade to SAP Business One version 9.2 or 9.3, or SAP Business One, version for SAP HANA
9.2 or 9.3.

Expected behavior:

1. The upgrade wizard shows a warning and points to this note informing you that there is a user-defined
field created on a non-existing table.
2. The message in the log report shows the table name which is not found in metadata.
For the OPBU table, the message is: "Table OPBU was not found in metadata, when loading existing
UDFs. Error -2004."

Actual behavior:

The upgrade wizard fails with an unknown error without any warning, and in the log report you find
the error message: "Failed, error code: -2004".
