Snaplex and Snap Pack compatibility

Environment admins control the timing of Snaplex and Snap Pack upgrades:

• Snaplexes: The current version has a (Recommended) label.
  • You can create Snaplex in Project Manager and Admin Manager, however only an Administrator can edit Snaplex in Admin Manager.
  • You can upgrade versions in Project Manager for individual Snaplexes by editing them and selecting a different version.
  • To upgrade all Snaplexes in the environment automatically at release time, refer to the auto-upgrade setting in the Admin Manager Snaplexes table.
• Snap Packs: Snap Packs have Stable and Latest versions. You can change the version for an individual Snap Pack or update all Snap Packs in the environment to the Stable or Latest version. In Admin Manager when you view the Snap Packs, you can select New and Old distributions:
  • The New distribution can run on Snaplexes on the current version.
  • The Old distribution runs on Snaplexes on an older version.

Snaplex and Snap Pack dependencies

Snaplex and Snap Pack versions are interdependent. An older Snaplex can only run the older Snap Pack distributions. A Snaplex on the current version can run both Stable or Latest versions. New Snap Packs require an updated Control Plane and a Snaplex on the current version.

Assuming a quarterly release update of the Control plane, the following table shows the supported combinations of Snaplexes and Snap Packs:
