How can I interpret the MaxDB version string?
Importance for Version 7.5 or lower, for example kernel version 7.5: 7.5.0 BUILD 026-123-094-430 Major Number: 7 Minor Number: 5 Correction Level: 0 Build Number: 026 Support Information: 123-094-430 The interpretation of the MaxDB/liveCache version string changes with MaxDB Version 7.6. Importance for Version 7.6 or higher, for example kernel version 7.6: 7.6.01 BUILD 020-123-115-206 Major Number: 7 Minor Number: 6 Support Package: 01. Patch Level:020 (Build Number) Support Information: 123-115-206 As of Version 7.6, a model was introduced with Support Packages and patch levels. Support Packages: – are created on a quarterly basis (approximately) – in addition to the error corrections, Support Packages also include new functions (change requests). Patch levels: – are created more often than Support Packages and according to requirements (error situation), – only high priority errors are corrected, – corrections for delivered versions always result in a new patch level number.
