Before you begin
- Install the product. You must install both the server runtime and the clients. For clients, you can use both Java and .NET clients. For more information, see Installing.
- If you are upgrading from a previous release, you must have all of your container and catalog servers at the same release level. For more information, see Upgrading and migrating WebSphere eXtreme Scale.
