check for max version in data source before updating client
check for max version in data source before updating client

we are using DPS with our RDM. as with the latest breaking version we had several clients updating before the data source was updated.
it would be great if the client could check with the data source what the max version is set to and don't update if the latest version available is higher than the defined max version of the data source.

Hello,
This feature already exist in Administration - System Settings - Version Management. You can set the Minimal and Maximal version for RDM. You can even use the Disable the auto update option to prevent user to get the new version dialog when opening RDM.

this limits the clients but does not affect the update process of RDM.
here is a more detailed example of what i mean:
say we have
- DPS configured with min (2021.1.0.0) and max (2021.1.26.0) version
- RDM exists in version 2021.1.0.0, 2021.1.26.0 and 2021.2.0.0
a client with version 2021.1.0.0 starts:
- the update process should not start before the connection to the DPS server was established and min an max version known to the client
- after the connection to the last database (the DPS server) was successfully established RDM checks for updates and retrieves "2021.2.0.0"
- as this is higher than the max version but the max version is not the current running version the clients should ask for the specified max version
- finally the client prompts with a message that the update version "2021.1.26.0" is available to the user for install
today the clients just always gets the update notification for the latest version - no matter what the max version on DPS is set to.
Hello,
Thanks for the detailed scenario, it's a very interesting idea to improve our update process. I've opened a ticket for this.
