Hi All,

My server has version 7.5.3 and my client version is 7.5.1.

I have developed my jobs using the client version 7.5.1.

Is it will cause any issues or problems when moving to diffrent environment? Becuse my Integration enviroment has cleint version 7.5.3.

Please Advise.

Thanks & Regards,
Kumar66

You 'develop' on the Server, not the Client technically. Same goes with your 'environments', the Client version isn't what drives that bus.

Within reason, it should not be an issue. The only issue would be if you use a functionality in 7.5.1 that is no longer available in 7.5.3. This would not be common, since 99% of the upgrades are backwards compatible, but you never know.

We have 7.5.2 clients working against a 7.5.1a server and have not had any issues.

A mismatch between Server and Client versions would usually manifest itself as graphical errors on your screen when you view jobs, metadata, etc.

We had users using both DS 7.5.1A and DS 7.5.3 going against a DS 7.5.1A server.
We started to get issues when running jobs.
Apparently the compilation result is a bit different with the 2 clients.
Getting rid of the 7.5.3 clients and recompiling got rid of the issues.

Datastage support told us that we must have matching version between the client and the server... despite what the release notes claim in 7.5.2 and (still) in 7.5.3.

regards.

I just received the patch that fixes the problem that encrypted parameter values were being corrupted when jobs were rescheduled. This is both a client side and server side patch.

What version does this apply to? What is the patch name?
