Compatibility of HSMS definitions in different HSMS environments

Before installing a new HSMS version you must check the compatibility of the various HSMS versions. With HSMS the version status is particularly important for

• the archive definitions stored in the control file.

• the request definitions stored in the request file.

You must also take the following into account:

• If shared pubsets are installed:
  the criteria for transferring requests from the slave host to the master host (see section "Shared pubsets and different HSMS versions").

• If SM pubsets are installed:
  the HSMS control and request files stored on these SM pubsets.
