The "Migrating from earlier versions" section near the beginning of the
client manual discusses the topic of which servers are supported with the
5.5 client (5.5 or 6.1). Alternatively see
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21053218

In theory the SnapDiff functionality should work with a 5.4 server (we are
not aware of any feature-wise limitations in this regard). However, as the
above item will indicate, 6.1 client and 5.4 server is not an officially
supported configuration.

Best regards,

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
