Possibility. However, I think the lack of native Java support will provide an argument to upgrade to 7.1(.1) sooner rather than later.

However.... :) And I am sure this would not be supported by BMC... I have wondered if you could use the v7.1 Plugin server with a v7.0.1 or v6.3 ARS server. If the communications between the ARS server and the plugin server did not change... then I would think this might be a possibility. Again.. you would be well outside the "supported" box but it might work. In theory the Plugin Server could be running on a remote server too... but that is a different story too. -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
