According to the Preparing for Version 11 page (http://www.tessituranetwork.com/network/Products/New%20Technology%20Initiative/v11%20Prep.aspx), InfoMaker 12.1 is required. However, 12.5 appears to be the most recent release according to Sybase. Will InfoMaker 12.5 also work? We would prefer to deploy the most up-to-date version, but didn't want to do so if it wasn't supported or there was some known incompatibility.
Thanks,David
We typically wait a period of time before adopting the latest version of PowerBuilder, which our main client application is built, to ensure stability in the platform. Since 12.5 was just released, we decided it was not worth the risk of upgrading with all of the other moving pieces in the Tessitura v11 upgrade.
The version of Infomaker used for custom reports/screens must be compiled in the same version of PowerBuilder used in the client. Out current working version of Powerbuilder and Infomaker is v12.1.
Infomaker 12.5 will not work (or be supported) with Tessitura v11.
Best,

Will someone please let Programmer's Paradise know that they shouldn't be sending out link to 12.5 for clients purchasing for Tessitura, since that's what they sold us, and what I've installed and now I have to see if we can downgrade to 12.1.
I believe you must purchase a license for 12.5 because that's the most current version; however, with that license, your download link should also offer previous versions. All our internal purchases of Infomaker show both 12.5, and a "Previous Versions" tab that offers Infomaker downloads all the way back to version 8.0. The version you will want to install is 12.0.
I'm afraid that, if you've installed 12.5, you must uninstall it completely if you wish to install 12.0.
After that installation succeeds, you must also install the Infomaker patch to bring the version to 12.1.6950. This can be downloaded from the Sybase support website, under EBFs/Maintenance. This patch must be installed to be compatible with Tessitura version 11.
Hope this helps.
