Question

Connection Strings: FCS vs. FMS

  • December 22, 2006

My company is upgrading from Flash Communication Server 1.5 to Flash Media Server 2.0.3. As a Flash developer utilizing the server, are there any major changes in the way I would reference applications or application instances? Or, if FMS is installed properly, will the connection strings that I am currently using for FCS work just fine when the new server is in place?

Thanks.

    FMS 3 and 3.5 are backward compatible with code written for previous versions of FMS.

    The syntax hsan't changed. Assuming the upgrade was done properly, all of your existing code should work just fine.

    It has been two years since this thread has been touched.

    Does the same hold true between Flash Communication Server 1.5 to Flash Media Server 3.5?

    We have a training application running happily on 1.5 but there is some desire here to move to 3.5. Need to know if we can upgrade without breaking the older application (or update with minimal chages - app is pretty basic). We could run 3.5 on a different server but IT will want to decomission FCS 1.5 is possible.

    Thanks

    Oddly enough, two years later, we are again in the same boat. We moved some of our servers form FCS 1.5 to FMS 2.0 back in 2007 and left one of them at FCS 1.5, but we now want to upgrade them all to 3.5. Like Doug already asked, will the strings currently used to connect to media on a FCS 1.5 continue to work if we upgrade that box to 3.5?

    Thanks.
