HP DeskManager Administration

Compatibility with previous versions. 

You should be aware of the following limitations when HP Desk version
B.05.00 is used in conjunction with earlier versions, and when HP
DeskManagerPLUS versions are used in conjunction with regular HP Desk.

Routed Messages 


CAUTION If you have HP DeskManagerPLUS installed and you intend to use the Routing and Authorization capability, you should note that routed messages will not be recognized on HP Desk systems that have software prior to B.05.00. The effect of this is that routed messages will become blocked along the route, since the receiving system does not apply any more processing to these items than to standard messages. It is important therefore that all HP Desk systems in a network are upgraded to HP DeskManagerPLUS version B.05.00 or later before Routing and Authorization is fully implemented.
Routed messages sent to regular HP Desk version B.05.00 systems can be approved or rejected (so blocking can be avoided), however they cannot be originated on those systems. NS Transport usage Communication via NS transport is available only between one HP Desk version B.05.00 or later system and another. DS communication must continue to be used to link HP Desk to older versions of the product. Remote Directory Updating Batch updating of Directory information which is local to the receiving system is available if both the sending system and receiving system have HP DeskManagerPLUS version B.05.00 or later installed. Batch updating of directories will be limited to items which are remote to the receiving system if one or both of the sending or receiving system is not HP DeskManagerPLUS. Additionally, a number of new batch update transaction types which may be applied to both regular HP Desk and HP DeskManagerPLUS version B.05.00 or later will not be recognized by earlier versions. These are type 05, 06, 44 and 53. Extensions to the 41, 43, 94 and 96 transactions have also been made that if utilized and applied to versions earlier than B.05.00 would result in those transactions being rejected.
