Hello,

is it possible to export Jobs and Routines from DS 7.5 and reimport them in DS 7.1 without getting errors?

Thank

AB

If the internal revisions generated in the output .dsx file are the same (I don't have a 7.1 here anymore, but am fairly confident that they are identical) then you should be able to go back and forth at will within the dot-releases. It is only when the internal version numbers differ that you will get errors.

Welcome aboard Adriano.

Probably the simplest answer is 'no'. You may be able to get away with it on simple jobs or routines, ones that you know don't use any functionality specific to 7.5, but... components are automatically upgraded during import, not sure what would happen if it thought they needed to be 'down-graded' as I've never tried it.

Here is another post where someone asked a similar question.

In response to Arnd - and since there are so many changes between 7.0, 7.1 and 7.5 - I would have thought the internal Job Version Numbers would be different. I only have 7.0 right now where it is 36. Let us know!

Craig,

I think that within the same Toolversion (currently I have "4" at 7.5.1) the jobs should be compatible. What does your .dsx say at 7.0?

Hmmm... in 7.0.1 'ToolVersion' is also 4. Perhaps it will be 'ok' as long as nothing specific to 7.5 is used.

I got it to work. I doubt if sequences will import because they changed them in almost every release of Ds7.x.
