  • 1.  When to patch desktop clients during dSeries 11.3.3 upgrade ?

    Posted May 11, 2015 12:18 PM

    We connected our desktop clients to two distinct dSeries server instance - one for production & one for development.

    Everything is currently at 11.3 SP2 and we are planning server upgrade patch to 11.3 SP3.

    There probably will be a gap of several months between patching development and patching production.

     

    When should we patch our desktop clients from 11.3.2 to 11.3.3 ?

    (1) before any server is patched

    (2) after all servers are patched

    (3) do nothing, desktop client 11.3.2 is compatible to dSeries 11.3.3

     

    Any comments ?

    Hi,

     

    I would suggest you can choose option 1 or 2. Only thing to remember is whenever you are connecting to R11.3.3 server , the DC should also be on the same level.

    The reason we suggest to maintain both Server and Desktop Clients on the same level is to avoid any compatibility problems because of the new features added.

     

     

    Hope it helps!

    More food for thoughts. 

    If I install in DIFFERENT directories, can 11.3.2 client desktop and 11.3.3 client desktop co-exists on the SAME laptop ?

    Hi,

     

    Yes. You can have multiple Desktop Clients installed on same machine. No problems.

     

    Hope it helps!

     

    Thanks and regards,
