The system includes a Maximo® database update utility called UpdateDB.
Run UpdateDB after you install system application patches or after you install any system options. System options might include Maximo, IBM® Maximo Mobile, or other applications. After you install patches or options, your application version will be different from your Maximo database version. For the system to function properly, the system and Maximo database versions must match.
When you start the application server (MXServer) the system compares the application version to the Maximo database version. If the system detects a discrepancy, the MXServer stops processing and the system prompts you to run the system UpdateDB utility. The upgrade script and class files run during the database update and revise the version references in the Maximo database, synchronizing the system, and database versions.
