Client and server compatibility error after upgrading RTC from 4.0 to 4.0.3
I have installed Rational Developer for System z V9.0 which contains a RTC client V4.0.3.
We have a RTC server V4.0 running.
When we try to connnect to the server from the RTC V4.0.3 client we get a message that client and server versions are not compatible and we should upgrade the client. As the client is on a newer version than the server, I think this can only mean that we have to upgrade the server.
Is this correct?
If yes, what do we have to do to upgrade the server from version 4.0.0 to version 4.0.3?
Accepted answer
According version matrix compability: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21623665
Your server should be newer than client version.
You will find the instructions here: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v4r0m3/topic/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/roadmap_clm_upgrade.html
Let us know if it helped for your.

the behavior you're experiencing was expected (and normal) as stated by this compatibility matrix:

If you cannot afford to install a separate RTC Eclipse client instance (say at the 4.0 level):
for upgrading from 4.0.0 to 4.0.3, I suggest you start by reading :
- the Deployment wiki "UpgradePlanning" topic https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Deployment/UpgradePlanning
- the 4.0.3 information center: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v4r0m3/index.jsp

Hey Joachim,
As I just learned (this morning from one of my own questions) that the client server compatibility is n-1. However this is just for major versions (v4 to v5). I thought it took the minor versions into account.
This said, Stephane's and Kyrstof's answers are correct. I just thought I would pass on the info.
Good luck
Michael
