Resolving The Problem

This is because "online_help" contents are not deleted prior to applying HF5 on base 8.5.

The resolution is to follow the HF installation step mentioned below:

Delete all the contents inside the folders <INSTALL_DIR>/xapidocs/online_help/output and <INSTALL_DIR>/repository/xapi/documentation/source/smcfs/online_help/output if you are installing HF3 or above. This step is not required if you have already executed this step in past. <INSTALL_DIR> is the Sterling Multi Channel Selling and Fulfillment Suite 8.5 installation directory.
