Hi,

At present DS 6.0 is installed in unix server, is it possible to install version 7.5 in same server and work in both versions.

if yes, any additional services has to be installed ?

can both the version share jobs.

please provide me a clear understanding.

thanks in advance.

cheers rbk

Welcome aboard. The answer is yes, but at least one of the installations must be an "-itag" installation, that uses non-default shared memory keys, etc., so that the two servers' working sets are not in conflict. Full details of -itag installations are in the installation and upgrade guide.

However, versions can not share jobs. You need projects to be at one version or the other. You can export from either version, but you can only import into the same or a higher version; that is, you can not export from version 7.5 and import into version 6.

Read the multiserv.pdf document in your Docs directory - the "Installing Multiple Servers" guide.
