Hi Lisa - I have indeed seen this error. It has occurred several times on our development servers (ARS 6.3 patch 24), but I've never been able to determine the root cause of the problem. My only solution is to restart the Remedy application. This seems to clear the error and you are then able to import definition files without error.
Given that this is a production system, this may be unpalatable, but this is the only solution I have found!

Both are at the same version (ARS 7.1 P7). Both DB's are at the same version Oracle 10g. And both servers are Windows 2003 boxes. We try to take great care in keeping both boxes exactly the same. I tried a simple form with a menu, a filter, and an active link. They wouldn't load. It generated the following errors. The file specified for a character menu does not hold a character menu definition: (ARERR 414) The file specified for an active link does not hold an active link definition: (ARERR 413) I tried the menu alone. It errored. When I tried to just import the form I would get: The following item was not imported: Junk (ARERR 55) The file specified for a character menu does not hold a character menu definition: (ARERR 414) The file specified for an active link does not hold an active link definition: (ARERR 413) Has anyone ever seen this issue before? When I export from Dev and import back into Dev, it's fine. As of yesterday morning, when I exported from Prod and imported back into Prod, everything is fine. It's when I try to export from Dev into Prod.
