RTC 3.0 iFix 1 Client backwards compatibility


Steven Tuttle (5079) | asked Jun 02 '11, 9:33 a.m.
Can the RTC 3.0 iFix 1 Client connect to a 2.x Server? I want to update my client to the latest to connect to a test 3.0 server, but still need to connect to our 2.x server. I couldn't find this information in the infocenter / forums. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you're using the Installation Manager version of the client you should just need to create a new package group for each version of the client.

If you're using the plain zip version of the client you can just extract each version to their own directory.

No. The RTC 2.x servers do not support the RTC 3.0(+) clients

Thanks for the quick reply! Is there a way to install two different versions of the client on one client machine?
