UDLP Versions
Beginning with the Sept. 21, 2018 release, Predix Essentials will maintain compatibility with the APM Connect client-side jobs one version prior to the newly released version.
To prevent processing failures, you must upgrade your on-premises, client-side jobs within two months of a Predix Essentials release to the most current version of the APM Connect client jobs. For example, if the Predix Essentials tenant has installed the Dec. 14, 2018 release, you must upgrade the on-premises, client-side jobs to UDLP V2.5.0 or V2.5.1 by Feb. 14, 2019, otherwise the next release of the Predix Essentials tenant may not process your data correctly.
The following UDLP versions are currently supported in Predix Essentials:
