Cause
Resolution
Run the queries below to check the Hotfix parameter and version details in T_SYSTEM_SETTINGS.
SELECT * FROM T_SYSTEM_SETTINGS WHERE PARAMETER LIKE '%HotFix%';
The output will be similar to what is shown here:
| PARAMETER | VALUE |
| HotFix_Build | 115344 |
| HotFixes | P04 |
SELECT * FROM T_SYSTEM_SETTINGS WHERE PARAMETER LIKE '%Version%';
The output will be similar to what is shown here:
| PARAMETER | VALUE |
| productVersion | 7.0.1 |
| SchemaCreatedVersion | 5.1.4 |
| hashReportVersion | 8f0ba73c3ff55ba72d45fe07a62681570ffc4bbe4e5a21ad7b2cbb1072173983 |
| hashReportStyleVersion | 8f0ba73c3ff55ba72d45fe07a62681570ffc4bbe4e5a21ad7b2cbb1072173983 |
The database shows that the schema was created at version 5.1.4, the hot fix is 7.0.0.115344 P04 and the major version is 7.0.1.
Although you are trying to deploy P02 in V7.0.1, the system is taking the hot fix value of P04 from the T_SYSTEM_SETTINGS table. In order to fix this issue please contact RSA Customer Support.
It is strongly advised that you have a recent database backup before contacting customer support.
