Moving cubes between versions

Post by Martin Ryan »

Quick question that I'll test myself, but thought I'd ask here first...

Should there be any issues in moving any files (.cub, .dim etc etc) from an environment running version 9.1.x 64 bit hardware/software to an environment running version 8.4.5 on 32 bit hardware/software? And vice versa?

Cheers,
Martin

I've never used those exact versions, but have never had a problem moving between versions from 8 through to 9.1.3 (and I would assume 9.1.4). Just keep in mind that 9.4 is a unicode server and thus, if you move from any 8/9 to 9.4 you will not be able to use those cubes on 8/9, so keep a backup.

.cub,.dim, .vue, .sub, .rux all shouldn't be a problem between 8.4 and 9.1.

Moving .pro files from 8.4 to 9.1 shouldn't be a problem but I would be very careful about going the other way as there are quite a few new TI functions introduced that won't work in 8.4 (e.g. SubsetExists, ViewExists, ExecuteProcess ...)
