Running 13.0 and 14.5 client applications in parallel

[Jarus Bosman]

Good day. Is it possible to run v 13.0 and v 14.5 client applications (Workbench and Administrator tool) on the same PC? We're testing v 14.5 and I don't have spare client PC's available.

HI Jarus,

Thanks for the question.

Windows platform:

It is not possible to have two releases (v13.0 and v14.5) clients co-existing on one windows machine.

You may use v13.0 client first on windows to connect to v14.5 server but it is not a long term recommendation and meant for short term tranisition only,

Linux platform:

On linux platform and other non windows like AIX ,Solaris  ,it is possible to have two clients v13.0 and v14.5 installed onto separate locations.

The additional instruction would be the pec and CAPKi components need to be installed separately for v13.0 and v14.5 respectively and not onto common components location to prevent overlap of shared components.

Please let us know if you have further questions and we will be able to help you .

Regards,

Balakrishna

NOTE : You may verify cmd line operations on linux and other non -windows O.S.

These same cmd line operations which you can perform on workbench GUI 

Admin and workbench GUI components can be launched and tested only from windows platform and not from linux.

Please let us know if you have further questions.
