Upgrading your whole environment

When upgrading, although compatibility with previous version components is a feature of IBM Workload Scheduler, potential problems can be avoided by upgrading all components to the new level as quickly as possible.

To avoid problems, ensure that when you upgrade to a new version of IBM Workload Scheduler you do so across your whole environment.

The components of this version of IBM Workload Scheduler are compatible with components of many previous versions (see IBM® Workload Automation: Overview for full details). However, running IBM Workload Scheduler in a mixed network increases the possibility of problems arising, because each new release of IBM Workload Scheduler not only adds functions, but also improves the stability and reliability of the various components. Try not to run in a mixed network for extended periods.
