Backward Compatibility


Overview

Billable Entity Association for QSMCell Objects


Overview

This section identifies issues related to the backward compatibility support between the current release of CommNet and prior releases of the CommCell and QSMCell software, in cases where some existing features may not function as expected.

The CommNet software can function with both the current release and the previous release of the CommCell and QSMCell software products. For example, when the CommNet Server is upgraded to the current version, it can still recognize and interact with CommCells and QSMCells which are at the previous release version in addition to the current version.

Since the CommNet documentation is written to reflect the behavior and interaction between the most current version of all software in the product suite, any differences from expected behavior are noted in this section.


Billable Entity Association for QSMCell Objects

The costing model for the QSM Agent for Exchange is different between the current version of QSM and the prior version. In the prior version of QSM, the billable entity for the QSM Agent for Exchange was associated with Mailbox Stores and/or Public Folder Stores--whereas, in the current version of QSM, the billable entity for that agent is associated with subclients containing those stores. Keep in mind this difference in billable entity association when viewing related summaries or reports and when performing costing model calculations in CommNet for the QSM Agent for Exchange.
