The database server version is not compatible with this version of dbmlsync.

I am trying to migrate sa-11 to sa-17 and this is a ML sync situation. I have successfully converted the consolidated.db (sa) to 17 and I have mlsrv17 connected. My next step was to convert my empty remote db to 17 which I have done. This query:

SELECT version FROM SYSHISTORY WHERE operation = 'INIT'; = 17.0.0.1062.

I try to connect using dbmlsync and I get this message:

I have now tried unloading my empty db and creating a new database using dbinit and got the same result. Not sure where to go from here.

Thanks.

Is it possible dbmlsync is connecting to a running V11 server?

Just found the problem. I was connecting through and ODBC data source. The driver displays version 17 and testing the connection works but when I changed the -c connection for dmmlsync to eng=server;dbn=dbname that problem went away and I got some more problems.

FWIW, you are using the v17 GA version (17.0.0.1062) - I'd recommend to use the freshest SP (17.0.0.1359 on Windows) to include any fixes.
