    determine_version:  23-Aug-2021 17:40:25 CEST;  type = 'SAM'
  determine_version:  23-Aug-2021 17:40:25 CEST; Active: 'SAM' Verison: 9.3

  resync_actions:  23-Aug-2021 17:40:30 CEST; determine_version.pl is picked from /opt/InCharge10/SAM/smarts/actions  

Environment

Smarts 10.1.X

Cause

SM_System version is in turn determined by the value set in lib/libsm_sms.so,  The upgrade or migration placed the older version of the library in place of the current version.

Resolution

Review the local library lib/libsm_sms.so, and the base lib/libsm_sms.so, and revert to the base file in the current 10.1.5 installation

Additional Information

Impact/Risks:

No risk.
Migration of old files should be reviewed for conflicts and best practice is to keep the latest GA library files. In this case the older library was copied and used instead of the current GA installed 10.1.5 library.
