Because you can use IBM® Toolbox for Java™ both on your server and your client, the compatibility issues affect both running on a server and connecting from a client back to a server.
You can use different versions of IBM Toolbox for Java on a client and on the server to which you are connecting. To use IBM Toolbox for Java to access data and resources on an IBM i server, the server to which you are connecting must be running one of the following:
