Because you can use IBM® Toolbox for Java™ both on your server and your client, the compatibility issues affect both running on a server and connecting from a client back to a server.
Running IBM Toolbox for Java on your servers
To install IBM Toolbox for Java (licensed program 5722-JC1 V5R4M0) on an iSeries™ system, the server must be running one of the following:
i5/OS™ Version
5 Release 4
- i5/OS Version 5 Release 3
- i5/OS Version 5 Release 2
You can install only one version of the IBM Toolbox for Java licensed program on the system. To install a different version, first remove the existing IBM Toolbox for Java licensed program.
Using IBM Toolbox for Java to connect from a client back to the server
You can use different versions of IBM Toolbox for Java on a client and on the server to which you are connecting. To use IBM Toolbox for Java to access data and resources on an iSeries system, the server to which you are connecting must be running one of the following:
- i5/OS Version
5 Release 4
- i5/OS Version 5 Release 3
- i5/OS Version 5 Release 2
The following table shows the compatibility requirements for installing IBM Toolbox for Java on and connecting back to different versions of i5/OS.
