Connecting a V7 client to a V6 server & shared memory info
INTRODUCTION

This Knowledgebase entry explains how a Version 7 client
can access a Version 6 database located on a shared
memory system.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
---------------------
If you want to connect a Version 7 client to a Version 6
database that resides on a shared memory system, you must
connect as a remote client. You cannot connect "locally",
even if the Version 6 and the Version 7 licenses reside on
the same machine. Why?
A Version 7 client cannot directly access shared memory
from a Version 6 database due to changes in shared memory
access in Version 7. A Version 7 client must connect as a
remote client using the -H and -S parameters. In this way,
the Version 7 client will go through a Version 6 server to
access shared memory rather than being a "self-service"
client which would access shared memory directly.
NOTE: If the Version 6 database is 6.2A through 6.2F, you
must use the -Nv (Network Version) startup parameter with a
value of 12 on the client side.
