FTS 2.0 client / server compatibility for space tokens

The compatibility of FTS client / server versions is fine for the normal operations, as described in FtsChangesFrom15To20.

There is one issue for the passing of space tokens when using FTS 2.0 with SRM 2.2.

• If you are using the server from patch 1120, you need to use the client from patch 1120 to pass the space token correctly.

• If you are using the server from patch 1232, you need to use the client from patch 1132 to pass the space token correctly.

• Mixed client and server 1120 / 1232 will not allow you to pass space tokens correctly.

• If you are not passing space tokens for use with SRM 2.2, this compatibility issue does not affect you.

1120 has:

• Client glite-data-transfer-cli-3.4.0-4.i386.rpm
• Web-service glite-data-transfer-fts-3.3.0-4.noarch.rpm

1232 has:

• Client glite-data-transfer-cli-3.4.2-2.i386.rpm
• Web-service glite-data-transfer-fts-3.3.2-2.noarch.rpm

Support for SRM 2.2 in FTS 2.0 is currently beta.

Observed symptom

The transfer will attempt to run, but without passing your space token to the destination SRM on the put operation.
