Re: upgrade TSM client

Kurt,

TDP for SQL upgrades after version 2.2.0 will install over the
top of each other. The same is true for TDP for Exchange.
The BA client is like that for most platforms, in some cases,
there may be a situation that causes you to uninstall the
previous version first... but in all cases your dsm.opt
and/or other config files should be preserved.

Thanks,

Del
