A product update is available message keeps popping up, even though there are not product updates available.

Products

Webtrends Analytics 9.x

Issue

You receive a message such as the following:

“A product update is available! Config Data version 9.2b is available from the following url:”

When you download and install it, the next day the same alert pops up stating that the product update is available.

Cause

Occasionally an upgrade script does not update the table correctly, which leaves tables set to a previous version. Though superficial, it can cause alerts to come up every day stating that an update is available.

Resolution

To resolve this, go to the wt_Componentlist table, found in the wtMaster database and update the “Version” column for all the entries except Webtrends Explore to 9.2b. You may also use the following update statement:

UPDATE wt_componentlist SET Version=’9.2b’ where tag=’lookupdata’;
UPDATE wt_componentlist SET Version=’9.2b’ where tag=’docutil’;
UPDATE wt_componentlist SET Version=’9.2b’ where tag=’smartview’;
UPDATE wt_componentlist SET Version=’9.2b’ where tag=’expview’;
UPDATE wt_componentlist SET Version=’9.2b’ where tag=’smartreports’;
