I've performed 2 upgrades from DS4.x to DS7 on solaris and hp-ux platforms. Both installations still have DS v4 running on a backup/disaster recovery box, so we still use both v4 and v7 clients.
My query relates to the "unsupported" Client Switcher tool that ships with the DS client disk.
I've installed this the tool on clients running NT4 sp6, Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional.
The Client Switcher tool works well except for the ver4 Designer where the pallete containing all the stages disappears and all datastage designer "icons"/"pictures" are blanked out on the canvas.
I've followed all the installation instructions correctly and the 2 different clients reside in separate directories.
Other than that, Switching between ver 7 and 4 works well.
Any ideas on the problem with the Designer client for v4?
