VBE 5.0.1 AA: Will Client using VBE 5.2 work with Server using VBE 5.0.1 -AA build?

• Product : VBE 5.0.1 -AA build
• Platform : HP-UX 11.0
• Produt Component : ORB

Resolution

All VisiBroker 5.x releases support CORBA 2.3 or later - which means they all provide IIOP 1.2 - which in turn means they will interoperate (5.x in one process and 5.y in another) for any 5.x version and client/server combination.

The -AA flag is on HP's C compiler. Any C code compiled with this option must be linked only with code also compiled with this option (its the same for code complied without the -AA option - you can"t mix them in a single process). This means that code compiled with -AA can only be linked with VisiBroker libraries that were also compiled with -AA. Currently this is only for releases 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 on HP-UX.So an application running on 5.0.1 compiled and linked with -AA option would have to recompile their code to run on 5.1 or 5.2 without the -AA option.
