Alternate Technique
-----------------
See Resolution below.

Resolution
-----------------
During method server startup the StandardDatabaseVersioningService looks into the database to see what versions of each product are registered. This error can occur

1) If the versions in the database are older than what is reported by 'windchill version'

or

2) The current installation directory is missing some of the components when the database was last initialized

The most typical cause of the problem is to have two different installations pointing at the same database and not having the same products installed.

To see what the difference between the database and the codebase is, run the following from <WT_HOME>\bin directory to see the database versions:

upgrademanager -exportdbhistory <some-name>.xml

Eg: upgrademanager -exportdbhistory dbHistory.xml

Then run the following to get the codebase versions:

windchill version

To resolve the issue, compare the dbHistory.xml and the output of 'windchill version'. Then modify the XML file to contain correct information and run the following command to update the version history in the database

upgrademanager -importdbhistory path/to/xmlfile

Eg: upgrademanager -importdbhistory dbHistory.xml
