http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21380768

 

Problem(Abstract)
When running the Validation Utility as part of the Maximo 6 to 7 upgrade you receive the following error in the Validate<tdate/timestamp>.log file.

Symptom
Validate Log:

Not a supported database version: V600-609
BMXAA6849I - Validate completed with errors.

Cause
The Validation Utility does not recognize the MAXVAR value for Maximo 6.2.3.
Ensure that your current Fix Pack of Maximo 7 is compatible with the Maximo 6 database revision. Consult the Fix Pack release notes for details.

Environment
Maximo 6.2.3 to be upgraded to Maximo 7.1.1.4.

Resolving the problem
Using a text editor, open the VersionSequence.xml file located in \ibm\SMP\maximo\tools\maximo\classes\psdi\upgrade\

Add a line to the file for the version we are having an error with:
<VERSION versionnum="V600-609 11/1/2008" dir="V600"/>

You file should look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<document docid="VersionSequence">
<VERSION versionnum="V510-13 12/10/2002" dir="V510_13"/>
<VERSION versionnum="V510-38 12/10/2002" dir="V510_38"/>
<VERSION versionnum="V520-14 12/19/2005" dir="V520"/>
<VERSION versionnum="V600-609 11/1/2008" dir="V600"/>
<VERSION versionnum="V600-664 11/1/2008" dir="V600"/>
<VERSION versionnum="V7100-001 4/2/2008" dir="V7100"/>
</document>

Save the file, and try re-running the Validation Checker.
