Hi,
you can keep the 3.0.1 clients, work with them against the 4.0 server and upgrade the clients later. Please read http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v4r0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.jazz.install.doc%2Ftopics%2Fc_upgrade_client_vs_eclipse.html <quote> Client / Server version compatibility
Client N-1 compatibility is supported which means that you can upgrade a server to the next release without the need to upgrade the clients. This backward compatibility applies to the following clients:
Clients are also compatible across fix packs for a release. When combined with N-1 compatibility, this means that client R will work with all fix packs for server R in addition to server R+1 and all fix packs for server R+1.

Comments Does this also work vice versa? Using the RTC 4.0 client to connect against a 3.1.0.3 server? My users would love to use the new Windows Explorer integration, but we have many 3.1.0.3 servers and upgrade needs some time.

The server compatibility is N-1, not N+1 ... so RTC 4.0 clients only work against 4. (and 5. when they are released) servers. |
