Robert, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I understand that (a) compatibility is given, more than this, a necessity unless you create a fresh database and (b) I made a mistake by talking about a "5-byte counter" which in fact is merely a "5-nybble counter" or, what I actually thought of, a "5 hex-char counter" ;-)
Gee, I wish I had had this doc three months ago! I came from 9.2.2 and went through different scenarios until I came up with a 9.2.2 -> 9.4 -> 10.1 -> 10.1.1 migration plan. Dealing with at least five different "Install" documents by CA for the respective interim versions was HELL and I doubted that everything came up running again until shortly before starting the upgraded SS for the first time. But having a step-by-step migration plan beforehand and testing all crucial features before touching production proved once again as the best way to do something like this and took quite a bit of my time. (This is what management ignores with great effort: For them, it is just "click here to install, next, next, finish" and, come again, you need ten days for an upgrade? We grant you four, make that five in case you need to call support ... :-( Thanks again!

CA has introduced "Huge Landscape Handels" to support more than 1 million models on 1 landscape. The "old" landscape handels are now called "Legacy Landscape Handle". more information: https://docops.ca.com/ca-spectrum/10-2/en/administrating/distributed-spectroserver-administration/setting-up-a-distributed-spectroserver-environment#SettingUpaDistributedSpectroSERVEREnvironment-LHLandscapeHandles Also, Jason Meader had posted 10.2 Upgrade Scenarios document to the community board: https://communities.ca.com/docs/DOC-231172056 Upgrades are not getting easier ;) On Fri, Dec 30, 2016 at 9:57 AM, Christian Fieres <c.fie...@mainova.de> wrote: Hi all, I am wondering as to how CA deals with the current handle limitation when managing up to 2 million models per landscape in SPECTRUM 10.2 - in my world, the landscape handle followed by a 5-byte counter provides for 1048575 unique models in addition to the VNM model at 0x<lh>00000. Has anyone tested 10.2 yet and might enlighten me whether I should pay attention to possible changes in handle value sizes when planning a 10.2 deployment? I don' t think I'm the only geek with quite a bunch of CLI scripts that may need a change here and there in case we get another digit in between.
