DB parameter check for AUTO_MAINT failed

Question

Can someone help me out.  I am doing the prepare for an Upgrade to ERP 2005 from SAP 4.7.  I am at the General Checks phase 07 of the prepare and it is failing and the CHECKS.LOG shows.  DB parameter check for AUTO_MAINT failed.  I have checked this parameter using db2 get db cfg for <SID> and the param is set to = ON.  I have changed it to OFF just as an attempt but no luck.  Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

hi,
my first advice would be to use the latest SAPup version from SAP service marketplace (build version >24.063) - since i do not know which SAPup version and which DB2 version you are using.
please keep in mind also point XII/ of OSS note 819876:
XII/   SAPup 7.00/2, build 24.063 or higher, generates incorrect
commands for the adjustment of database parameters for DB Version 8
The CHK_DB6_PAR_INI and CHK_DB6_PAR_PRE phases check the values of the
selected db(m) cfg parameters. If you need to change these values, the
commands required to change the parameters are explicitly issued in
CHECKS.LOG.
As of SAPup 7.00/2 build 24.063 and higher, incorrect commands may be
gerenated for DB2 UDB Version 8. Use the following list to change these:
db(m) parameter     Generated value     Modified value
DIR_CACHE                0                      NO
KEEPFENCED            0                      NO
DFT_MON_BUFPOOL  1                      ON
AUTO_MAINT              1                      ON
AUTO_TBL_MAINT       1                      ON
AUTO_RUNSTATS       1                      ON
Example:
Instead of the generated command
db2 update db cfg for <SAPSID> using AUTO_MAINT 1
you must enter the following changed command:
db2 update db cfg for <SAPSID> using AUTO_MAINT ON
