Appendix F.2 Compatibility among data model versions

In PFM - Agent, data model versions as well as product versions exist.

When PFM - Agent is upgraded, the data model may be upgraded as well. The report definitions and alarm definitions defined in the old version can be used in a new data model version, because the data model ensures forward compatibility.

For details on data model versions for an Agent, see the description of version compatibility in an appendix of each PFM - Agent manual.

The following describes version compatibility using the example when the version 4.0 of the data model mixes with version 6.0 of the data model.
