Resolution Date 2019-01-22

A bug in our Exasol CLI may lead to a process crash during connection establishment.

Exasol CLI is used by the IMPORT FROM EXA command and our ODBC driver which means that there the process crash can occur, too.
ODBC tools running on Windows are not affected by this.

If the IMPORT FROM EXA command fails because of this bug, you will receive the following exception message:

Successfully reconnected after internal server error, transaction was rolled back.

Workaround
In case of a retry the process crash will very likely not happen again.
