RTC 5.0 Compatibility

Hi Shalini

Client N-1 compatibility is supported, which means that you can upgrade a server to the next release without upgrading the clients. This backward compatibility applies to the following clients:

• Client for Eclipse IDE
• Client for Microsoft Visual Studio IDE
• SCM command line
• ISPF client
• Jazz Build Engine
• Windows shell
• Rational Software Architect Design Management client

Please refer the IBM knowledge center 5.0 link which lists the Client and server version compatibility and server and server version compatibility:
