ODWEK 9.0/Server 10.1

[JeanineJ]

Is anybody successfully using ODWEK 9.0 with a CMOD 10.1 Server install? Yes I know it's not on the compatibility matrix but the web guys are slow in upgrading and I'm not. TIA

There shouldn't be any big issue moving from ODWEK v9.0 to v9.5, as long as you stay at or below CMOD Fixpack v9.5.0.2.  Once you move to CMOD v9.5.0.3, the DocID's that are returned by ODWEK are encrypted, and that may cause a lot of problems.  At least v9.5 is on the compatibility matrix -- but you should be aware that Content Manager OnDemand 9.5 end of support is April 30th, 2020...  so about a week from now.

Oh yes I know. I've been begging for the web services group to get off 9.0 since last October. I'm even willing to let them go to 9.5 just so I get the Server software to 10.1. It's what has been holding me back. That's why I asked if anybody was possibly running 9.0 ODWEK against 10.1 Server.

It's been a few months since I've referred to the compatibility matrix, but.

A fellow engineer I worked with was able to get it working.

Since our old 8.5 ODWEK servers were on Solaris, we couldn't goto 9.5 because solaris support was deprecated. (Or so they thought).

In our test lab, my manager successfully made calls from ODWEK 9.0 on Solaris to CMOD 10.5.0.4 on Linux. He's also convinced that 9.5 ODWEK ODIApi.jar can be successfully used on extremely old Solaris boxes.

I don't think ANY OF THIS WAS SUPPORTED BY IBM!
