CTGIN2398E : An existing maximo db version is not valid and this installer requires minimum version is 7100

We are getting this error while installing Maximo 7 version .

Debuging : While debugging we found that maxvars table already existed in that particular database.

select * from maxvars

is giving us result and if this table exists it tells maximo that it wants to run an update installer not a fresh installation

Solution : If it is a fresh installation then please clean all the database properly .If database is on a shared environment please ask your DBA to hit

select * from dba_objects where object_name='maxvars'

if it has maxvars as public synonym by some other maximo it will be an issue for our installation

if you like this please leave your comments.
