Secondary Catalog Error

I’m trying to create a new secondary catalog database for my company. When I first open AutoCAD and browse the catalog information, the primary catalog loads normally. However, opening the secondary catalog takes a long time, though it eventually loads.

After assigning catalog information to the first component, when I try to browse and assign a second component, I get an error saying the catalog format is incorrect (see attached screenshot). The only workaround I’ve found is restarting AutoCAD—then the secondary catalog works again, but only for the first component. When I try to access it a second time, the same error occurs.

Could someone please help me resolve this issue?

Did you try to fix the secondary catalog using the migration tool?
