Hi all
Well, it looks like we were having quite a few problems with version
5.1.5.16 of the Mac OSX client, but since going to 5.2.3.12 we have had
even more. So, while I'm waiting to see if IBM can help me, I will probably
have to end up going back to the previous version of the client.
Now, I know that the older version of the client will be unable to restore
data backed up by the later version, but is there anything else I need to
be aware of when trying to downgrade. I assume that there will be data left
lying around in the database with no-where to go? What happens to this, if
anything?
Thanks in advance
