Linux Microsoft SQL Database version compatibility

Linux Microsoft SQL Database version compatibility

I am having an issue connecting to a database that was created by the Windows version of RDM, version 2021.2.16.0 64-bit. I have the latest version of RDM for Linux, but I am unable to connect to the datasource. What is the latest version of RDM for Windows that I can use with this Linux version? Is there some type of matrix that shows which ones work with each other?

Just to provide more information, I initially get an error that says "The data source 'ADMIN' requires a Remove Desktop Manager version greater or equal than 2021.2", but eventually let's me see the sessions.

The latest versions should work. We've got 2021.2.16.0 installed on our Windows boxes and I'm able to connect from the Linux 2021.2.0.6
version. The release notes show when there's database upgrades required, which there was for 2021.2.13.0.

From that message you get, it sounds like someone set the version management settings in your data source and maybe didn't update the versions for Linux (there's separate version management for Linux, Windows and macOS, see the screenshot below).

So it appears that what I thought was the latest version actually wasn't. I had to uninstall a version I had installed previously and then install the latest using apt-get. Now it appears to be working perfectly. However, thank you for the response.
