occurs when code is incompatible with the version, platform, or
architecture of this application.
We have installed the V7R1 client access with its latest service pack in DC + have also installed the client access solutions (Running on Java).

    This does not sound like a request for an enhancement. It sounds like it may be a configuration or setup issue. You will likely be better served opening a PMR with our Service team so they can help diagnose the specific issue you are having. If you are requesting an enhancement, please be more specific about what you are asking us to provide.
