Environment

APM 10.7 on Linux

Cause

The hotfix installer checks through the jars that are present for versions that do not fit with it it's permitted range if a mismatch is found the hotfix does not apply.

The check is done by looking at the Bundle_version value in the META-INF\MANIFEST.MF file in the existing jars for hf10 teh range that is acceptable is 10.7.0.45 -> 10.7.0.98.

In this case one of the reported versions was 10.7.0.0_sp

Resolution

Used the following shell script to help identify problem jar file in the <EM_HOME>/product/enterprisemanager/plugins folder

for i in `ls com.ca*jar com.wily*jar`
do
echo $i
jar xf $i META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
grep undle-Vers META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
rm META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
done

This identified file  com.wily.intrsocope.em.client_10.7.0.jar was the cause and this had come from a test fix - replaced with GA version and installer ran through ok
