operations?
I have upgraded one of our Repositories from version 4 to version 5. We still use version 4 Reporter client software as well as version 2.5 WebI against this repository. There’s nothing wrong with that, as we all know. However, I also access the upgraded version 5 repository with Supervisor version 4.1.5. Please note that I am careful to only use 4.1.5 to do simple operations such as adding users, resetting passwords, etc…, using version 5 for the more complicated operations. Obviously I can use version 5 for the simple operations as well, but it is only deployed on a few client machines. So far I have not experienced any problems here.
We are about to upgrade another, more important repository, to version 5. This repository has a number of Supervisors restricted to only doing “simple operations” such as creating users, resetting their passwords, adding them to groups, etc… Now, I want to delay the deployment of version 5 Supervisor module, for this user base, until they are instructed to use the version 5 Reporter module.
So my two related questions are:
Is it valid (although unsupported) to do use version 4.1.5 Supervisor against a version 5 repository to do simple operations such as creating users, resetting their passwords, adding them to groups, etc…?
Has any out there experienced any problems with using Supervisor version 4.1.5 against a version 5 repository (for these “simple operations”… i.e. not for operations such as scanning the Security Domain or anything like that)?
