Although Base Services has an internal version number of its own (v7.1.1.6), when referring to updates, please refer to the version number for your specific product.

IBM Maximo Asset Management Essentials 7.1.0.6
IBM Tivoli(R) Asset Management for IT 7.1.0.6
Considerations
-Do not apply the 7.1.1.6 MBS fixpack if your system has any of the below products and components installed. Verification is ongoing for these products and additional information will be provided when MBS 7.1.1.5 can be applied to the following:
- IBM Tivoli Change and Configuration Management Database 7.1
- IBM Tivoli Service Request Manager 7.1.
- IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager 7.1
- IBM Tivoli Change and Configuration Management Database 7.2
- IBM Tivoli Service Request Manager 7.2
- IBM Tivoli Service Automation Manager 7.2
- IBM Maximo Asset Management for Energy Optimization 7.1
- IBM Maximo Asset Management Scheduler 7.1
-There is no 7.1.1.6 update for the Maximo Asset Navigator or IBM Tivoli Integration Composer (ITIC) products. Tivoli Asset Management for IT 7.1.0.6 users can upgrade to ITIC 7.2.0.0. ITIC 7.2.0.0 is backward compatible with MBS 7.1.1.6.
-Do not apply the 7.1.1.6 Fix Pack if you installed any 7.1.1.x hot fixes after 12/1/09 as they may not be included. If you received any hot fixes after this date, you should not apply the 7.1.1.6 Fix Pack until the first 7.1.1.6 cumulative hot fix is released. At that time, you will need to apply both the 7.1.1.6 Fix Pack and the 7.1.1.6 hot fix. Look to this page for additional information and availability date for this hot fix.
-With the release of the 7.1.1.6 MBS Fix Pack, Maximo 6.2.5 users can now upgrade to Maximo v7. If your Maximo 6.2.5 has any Industry Solutions installed you will need to wait until the latest v7 industry Solution Fix Packs and/or hot fixes are available. These updates are slated to be released on 12/18/09.

Hello Chon,
Long time, hope everything is OK.
We are working on updating to fix pack 7.1.1.6-173 (or V7116-173), currently it seems from running the updatedb.bat file we got the following issue / error
(Side Note: The current version of Maximo we are on is 7115-87, checked the current version by going to the following file \ibm\SMP\maximo\tools\maximo\en\xliff\MAXUPG\MAXMESSAGES.xliff –> open with notepad):
Product Base Services updatedb process starts…
MAXUPG: V7116-173, Current release DB build: V7115-149, Last release DB build: V7114-118
Cannot run database script update.
DB version(MAXUPG) is not same as either Last release DB build or Current release DB build.
Updatedb process ends: ERROR
Please check the log file.
java.lang.Exception: Cannot run database script update.

===========================================
did some online search and found following for reference: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=3211&context=SSLKNW&uid=swg21315960&loc=en_US&cs=UTF-8&lang=en
mentions that we need to do the following: update maxvars set varvalue = ‘V7110-00′ where varname = ‘DBPROJECT’
in our case:
Our version of Maximo is: V7115-149 so we run the following query in db:
varvalue = ‘V7115-149’ where varname = ‘MAXUPG’
The MAXUPG information is derived from the following document:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27016367&aid=1
On page 5:
select*from maxvars where varname=’MAXUPG’;
=============================================
After setting the variable to the V7115-149, it moved forward, but it still hangs on us at the end.
Based on your other document: http://maximotimes.com/maximo/maximo-7115-fix-pack-now-available/
We have tried updatedb.bat command and delete and deploy the .era file we still are getting it to hang up on us.
Do you have any suggestion \ ideas \ solutions.
Please let us know.
Thank you.
Regards,
MMD

Also, for others who are trying to fix pack updates be sure to read the readme for the fix where it gives information on how to install and what issues have been resolved in the fix pack: ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/tivoli_support/maximo/v7/7116/readme_mbs7116.txt
Did you try stopping the app server then trying to run the updatedb?
