Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2007-05-22 12:19:42 EDT 
As we're approaching TM 2.0, I'm wondering if there is anything we need to make sure that users get a proper error message when they try to use an incorrect dstore server version, e.g.

 1. TM 2.0 client against an RSE 1.0 dstore server,
 2. RSE 1.0 client against a TM 2.0 dstore server,
 3. IBM RSE7 client against openRSE server or vice versa.

I guess that (3) may not be a problem since it's using different package names everywhere (com.ibm.etools) so it should not be an issue. Still it should perhaps be checked.

For (1) we should make sure that a proper error message is spit out since it may be not so obvious that it's not supposed to work. This is an API change since the dstore server protocol is part of our API. Since it can be verified in the actual builds only, it should be fixed rather sooner than later.

patch to update dstore version

This patch updates the dstore version to 9.0.0.  If you try to use a 9.0.0 dstore client where: server version is <= 8 or server version >= 10 then an incompatibility message is given to the user.

I've updated the dstore version to 9.0.0.  This requires the dstore servers to be updated.

[target cleanup] 2.0 RC3 was the original target milestone for this bug
