Promotion with different patch level

[leguen]

Hello

We are facing issue to open a webi document on destination after we promote it.

Is it possible to promote document from BI 4.2 SP8 to BI 4.2 SP7 environment ?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, it is possible to promote, but not supported or recommended. Content promotion should always be done from lower to higher version.

You will have to design the same report in SP7.

As mentioned its possible to move/promote objects from higher version to lower, but the actual ability to use those objects after promotion depends on type of object and that's where problems start. And that is why it's not supported.
