Is it possible to run job from client on server with different version?

I want to configure Serial and Parallel MATLAB on Taito(which is a sever providing computatinal resources). My matlab version is 2014b and the matlab version of the server is 2014a. When I use this command:

j.fetchOutputs{:}

I get following error:

Error using parallel.Job/fetchOutputs (line 985) An error occurred during execution of Task with ID 1.

_ Caused by: Error using preCJSJob>iCheckClientVersionOnServer (line 64) This job was submitted with version 6.5 of the Parallel Computing Toolbox. However the current MATLAB Distributed Computing Server is version 6.4. You must run jobs from clients on servers with the same version. _

I wanted to know is there any way to solve this problem? or to run my matlab as 2014a? Thanks!

Hi,

The versions have to match. In your case, imagine if you're using a feature in R2014b that's not supported in R2014a -- your code would break.

Get in touch with the Sys Admin to install MDCS R2014b as well.
