Environment

Novell Identity Manager Engine -
Novell Identity Manager Driver -

Situation

After installing the IDM 3.5 engine FP. The build ID reads "3.5.1.20070411". How do I interpret the build string.

Resolution

The first section is the major version, the second is the minor version, the third component is the internal build number, and the fourth component of the engine version is a timestamp which is naturally dynamic in nature.
