  • 1.  ibm i V7R3 needs to use DDM to access files on remote system running V6R1

    Posted Tue October 26, 2021 10:30 AM
    Hello,
    We should upgrade our system that runs IBMi V7R1 to V7R3, it actually uses DDM to access to remote files on a box that is on V6R1.
    Is it possible that V7R3 system access remotely by DDM to files residing on V6R1 ?
    Are there any compatibility issues ?
    Thanks in advance

    Assane,
    What was the result here? Did you end up upgrading? I wouldn't think there would be any compatibility issues but I don't have a V6R1 system to test against. If it was working with 7.1 I believe it will continue working with V6R1.
