Inter Version Client Server Connectivity

siddharthkaushik · Post by **siddharthkaushik** » Fri Dec 05, 2003 3:20 am

Hello All,

Is it possible to have an inter version client server connectivity in DataStage? e.g. Can a DataStage Designer 6.x version connect to DataStage Server 5.x version?

Thanks
Siddharth

Have a look at the client switcher thread:

viewtopic.php?t=85478&highlight=switcher

While a single client version cannot access multiple server versions it is possible to run multiple client versions on the one PC by using the switcher tool or by using a tool that runs virtual machines such as VMWare.

Thanks Vincent and Ray for your response.

Vincent, the answer that I wanted was given to me by Ray(a very short and sweet "NO"). My exact requirement was to connect a DataStage Designer 6.0 to DataStage Server 5.2.

Warm Regards,
Siddharth
