Problem conclusion
The SAP Adapter and Adapter Foundation Component jars have been modified to use a property name less like to clash with other jars to store version information. Additionally a mismatch in versions no longer causes a failure and instead results in an entry being written to trace. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: Version Maintenance Level v11.0 11.0.0.11 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=849&uid=swg27006041 If the maintenance level is not yet available,information on its planned availability can be found on: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=849&uid=swg27006308 ---------------------------------------------------------------
