Agent versions are displayed from the Resources->Agents view. The meaning of the compatibility indicator is the same as for the Controller.

Compatibility Indicator

There are rules in place about compatibility of releases. However, such rules can differ for specific minor/maintenance releases.

The compatibility indicator provides the authoritative information.

Consider the Image Added icon that acts as the compatibility indicator:

A green color as in Image Added indicates full compatibility of the Controller version with the JOC Cockpit version.
A yellow color indicates limited compatibility.
- For example, a newer Controller version can be used to redeploy and to run existing workflows with older Agents. However this might not work for newly created workflows that include instructions known to the newer version of the JOC Cockpit and Controller only.
A red color as in Image Added indicates incompatibility.
- An incompatible Agent can still show a coupled connection status, however, the Agent is not usable for workflow execution.

Consider occurrence of the Image Added icon that appears in scope of Controller and Agents:

Example:

A newer JOC Cockpit version might indicate limited compatibility with an older Controller version in place.
At the same time Agents can state full compatibility with the Controller version in place.
