Of course, I feel the need to re-iterate that CMOD v9.5 goes out of support April 30th, 2020 -- so you should be focusing on your move to v10.1, and not supporting a version that's going out of support!
That's why I created this topic - we are analyzing different scenarios of upgrade to 10.1
Thanks for replies
For what its worth, as far as using an "Old Version" of CMOD, and a "New Version" of TSM, I ran CMOD 8.5 and TSM 7.1 for a long time in a QA environment with no issues. CMOD was on AIX, TSM was on a remote RHEL server. I'm sure a lot of these scenarios will Work theoretically, even outside of the compatibility matrices-
Example- Somehow made ODWEK 10.1 work with a 8.5 Library server...against ALL my suggestions not to!
but most of them are not supported by IBM.
