IBM Sterling Connect:Direct Compatibility and Connectivity Chart

The IBM® Sterling Connect:Direct® Compatibility and Connectivity chart shows the currently supported versions and platforms of IBM® Sterling Connect:Direct® and the Connect:Direct Service
Adapter on IBM® Sterling B2B Integrator or IBM® Sterling Gentran Integration Suite and the compatible Sterling Connect:Direct versions. To determine if a Sterling Connect:Direct version is
compatible with another Sterling Connect:Direct platform, find a Sterling Connect:Direct platform and version number in the left column. Look across that row to the desired platform, and find the
compatible Sterling Connect:Direct version and the connectivity type.
For example, to see if version 5.0.00 of IBM® Sterling Connect:Direct for z/OS® is compatible with Sterling Connect:Direct for UNIX, find z/OS in the left column and look down the column until you
find version 5.0.xx. Look to the right until you find the UNIX column. You see that version 5.0.00 of Sterling Connect:Direct for z/OS runs with version 3.8.00 or later of Sterling Connect:Direct for
UNIX using LU6.2, TCP/IP, or UDT (requires Sterling Connect:Direct for UNIX version 4.0.00 or later). Unless otherwise specified, the compatibility applies to all maintenance releases for a Sterling
Connect:Direct version. Some features require a specific platform release level. See the documentation for each Sterling Connect:Direct platform for more information.
