Issue
How can I find out whether the EBO 2022 multi-version support applies to AS Classic module? Does it apply to all the AS, AS-P, and AS-B modules?
Product Line
EcoStruxure Building Operation
Environment
- Building Operation Enterprise Server
- Building Operation Automation Server
Cause
The EBO 2022 Release Note describes that the EBO 2022 Device Administrator software is not supported on the original AS classic (part number SXWAUTSVR10001) but there is no description of the software backward compatibility of the EBO on AS classic.
Resolution
An AS classic can continue to exist in a multi-version system; the maximum version an AS classic can operate at is 3.1.2. It is nowhere implied that it is not supported under a multi-version setup.
The statement “EBO 2022 does not support AS classic” in the EBO 2022 Release Note is misunderstood. It simply means that one cannot install EBO 2022 on an AS Classic, the same as the previous EBO 3.2 version.
Note that the AS Classic will not inherit any features introduced in later EBO releases when operating in a multi-version system.
