Data Manager Compatibility

[CommandoCognos]

Hi,

is it possible to connect with DM 10 Designer to a DM 8 Catalogue without having compatibility issues? Will the schema be changed or is it changed by the Engine only? Is the database schema connected to the Engine on the Sever (DM 8)? We are trying a substitutional approach by upgrading the Designer first, before migrating the Engines on the Server.

Thanks for your feedback.

Best regards,

Hi,

As soon as you try to open a v8 catalog in Data Manager 10, the catalog schema will get upgraded. This will then prevent your Data Manager 8 engine(s) from accessing the catalog.

You will need to upgrade the designer and engine in one go.

Cheers!
