Backward compatibility TM1 10.2.2 Perspectives

Post by Mark2007 »

Dear all,

where can I find the information, which TM1-Perspectives-Version will work with which server-Version.

Actually, I think about installing TM1 10.2.2 (as my tablet is running Windows 8.1), but the server is still running 10.1.

I did not find any information concerning backward-compatibility of servers and clients on IBM-pages

Thanks in advance!

Mark

What you want to do will not be possible. Backward compatibility does generally work but only the other way round - a newer server with an older client.

What QML said.

The relevant documentation (and I agree it's not easy to find unless you know what you're looking for) is the ClientVersionMaximum server parameter which is in (in 10.2) the Installation and Configuration Guide:
Installation and Configuration Guide wrote:You cannot set ClientVersionMaximum to a value greater than the currently installed server version. You cannot connect newer client versions to older server versions.

Hi

We've tried to use 10.2 client to access 10.1 server , but acording to IBM :

Quote You cannot set ClientVersionMaximum to a value greater than the currently installed server version. You cannot connect newer client versions to older server versions. Unquote
