Resolving the problem

If you copy an environment from another environment the application version and the database must match.

Check the version of the application
1. IBM\SMP\maximo\applications\maximo\version.bat

Check the database version.
2.select * from maxvars where varname like '%DB%'
select * from maxvars where varname='MAXUPG'

For an example if the version shows the following
Base Services 7.1.1.6 Build 20091208-1415 DB Build V7116-173 
ServiceProvider 7.1.1.0 Build 20090818-1403 DB Build V7120-08

The product version and base services DB Build version must match with # 2 results. You can't connect to an existing application different version of DB Build.
