Question

In general, it is suggested to use same version of SQL Server and SQL Client for HP Service Manager, however, some of customers would use old version of SQL Client because Windows system has it by default. Most SM functionality works well even lower version of SQL Client but it has a potential risk and it could make some issue if Service Manager would run SQL version-specific task like dbdict remapping.
Proactively, customer needs to check its version matching and eliminate potential risk if existing.
