Backward compatibility of the Connector

Postby isento » Wed Mar 31, 2010 7:31 am

I cannot find any information about this in the release notes:

Are connector-versions generally backward compatible to older server versions or are there only certain server versions with which the connector works without problems?

In our case we are using server version 11.4.4 and on some machines the connector version 11.4.6. Are there any known problems with this combination?

This is not supported. Are you sure you read the release notes?....from the 11.4.4 relase notes in the "Upgrade Notices" section. This section has been in every release notes i have seen.

We recommend you upgrade all components at the same time if possible. If you can't do all systems at once, follow these rules:

* You can run Outlook with a Scalix 10.0.x MAPI connector against a Scalix 11 server.
* You must not run Outlook with a Scalix 11 MAPI connector against a Scalix 10 server. This combination can cause invalid data in the message store and interoperability issues.
* You can run a Scalix 11 SWA web server against a Scalix 10 server. You cannot run a Scalix 10 SWA web server against a Scalix 11 server.
* You can use a Scalix 11 Management server to manage a server installed with Scalix 10. You cannot use a Scalix 10 Management server to manage a server installed with Scalix 11.
* It is supported to run Outlook with an older Scalix Connector version against a newer server, e.g. you can run Scalix Connect for Outlook 11.1 against a Scalix 11.4.4 server. It is not supported to run Outlook with a newer Scalix Connector version against an older server, e.g. you cannot run Scalix Connect for Outlook 11.4.4 against a Scalix 11.3 server. You must always upgrade all your servers first before upgrading Scalix Connect for Outlook.
