There do not thing there has to be a one to one match of the Requester and Server product id. Some of the servers have multiple clients and of course all can't match. JCC doesn't match any of the servers it connects to. I would suggest our line in the talbe could look like this: Organization: Derby (Apache Open-Source Foundation) DRDA Requester: DNC DRDA Server: CSS DRB goes away. Would that be acceptable to you? Now theoretically that documentation would regress for older versions of Cloudscape, but I'll take that over a product regression breaking every existing Derby client in the world any day.
