SDA link time mismatch?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I just started at a new company (for me) and don't know any of the history of
 installs or upgrades...
 
I fired off $analyze/system and got
 
SDA-W-SDALINKMISM LINK TIME OF SYS$BASE_IMAGE BUILT INTO SDA$SHARE ( 8-JAN-1998
 15:12) DOES NOT MATCH LINK TIME OF IMAGE IN SYSTEM (18-MAY-1998 11:55)
 
I don't have a good feeling about this and there are NO manuals here.
 
Any thoughts ?

The Answer is :

 
  Any thoughts?  Yep.  Someone or something has left the wrong (old)
  version of SDA.EXE around somewhere, or something forgot to stick
  the current SDA$SHARE image into the IMAGELIB library.  Check first
  in SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE], and look at the LIBRARY/REPLACE command.
 
  You will also want to start the process to acquire the OpenVMS
  documentation either in hardcopy or on CD media.
