Cause

DP9.x used encryption communication called ECC.
DP10.x uses new security model based on self-signed certificates (SSC).

Fix

Need to add DP9.x_client_hostname to the exception list and then import :


omnicc -secure_comm -configure_exception DP9.x_client_hostname
omnicc -import_host DP9.x_client_hostname
