View product interoperability, upgrade impact, findings addressed, and objects addressed by the upgrade recommendation.

Skyline now automatically checks product interoperability for the upgrade recommendation. Click Show Details next to the upgrade recommendation, which displays additional information, including product interoperability results. The Product Interoperability check will alert you if another product is incompatible with the upgrade recommendation. This way, you know if another product needs any upgrade before performing the recommended upgrade. Each Upgrade Recommendation contains the following information:

  • The recommended product version and build

  • The product interoperability with other Skyline supported products

  • The findings addressed

  • The objects addressed
