Unsupported product library and production database connections

Available with Production Mapping license.

It is possible to connect to a product library or production database that was created with a newer version of Production Mapping or ArcGIS Mapping and Charting solutions. In this case, this connection is unsupported and not usable. Backwards compatibility is supported; however, all possible changes to the schema can't be anticipated, thus the product library and production database can't support forward compatibility. For example, a product library with the schema of a newer version, such as 10.2, is not supported in the 10.1 software version. You need to install the latest version of Production Mapping or ArcGIS Mapping and Charting solutions to be able to use the geodatabase.

If you connect to an unsupported geodatabase by loading data, the Product Library tree view shows it as disabled and "Unsupported" is displayed next to it.

If you try to connect to the product library using the Select Product Library command, you will get the following error message.
