Issue/Introduction

Can a RA application export from an older version of RA be imported into a more recent version of RA or vice versa

For example: could a RA 6.2 application be imported into RA 6.6?

Cause

Release Automation application imports/export only works and support import/export on same version.

Environment

Release: 6.6, 6.7 or higher
Component: RAROC

Resolution

For example if you are trying to export application from RA version 6.6 to 6.7 it will result in an error. You need to first upgrade your 6.6 instance to same version i.e. 6.7 before creating an export.
