EDIT or RESTORE sap bw query from higher 7.x GUI to lower 7.x GUI

[Loed]

Hi guys,

I noticed that if I make some changes in a query using higher 7.x version GUI, I can't anymore edit it with lower 7.x version of GUI.

Any of you already experienced this?

How can I restore the query to its lower version? Or is there a way to edit the query with lower version of GUI?

An example is, queries created using GUI 7.4 cannot be edited by GUI 7.3 or any version lower than 7.4..

Sample of error message encountered when editing a query which was already saved using higher version of GUI: (query was created using 7.3, edited by 7.4, then if opened with 7.3 the error message below appears).

Thank you.

Hi Andras,

So I think the only solution is to upgrade my GUI to version 7.4 or higher, right?

Hi Loed,

Yes, the solution works only as the combination of the required frontend and backend patches.
Update your system according these note notes.
