Compatibility between MII with different patch levels.

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I know that the best solution is to have the same MII patch level in MII development environment and in produztion enviroment.

For many reasons that aren't under my direct controli, we'll have an MII 12.0.5 in development and MII 12.0.8 in production.

Are there any point to verify? Can we export from development environment and deploy to production without any changes?

On the contrary, what about having the development environment at a higher patch level than production enviroment (e.g 12.0.8 in development and deploy the solution on a 12.0.5 prduction enviroment)?

Thank in advance for your responses/experiences on this subject.

Best wishes for a nice 2010

Hi,

If you transfer from lower patches to higher patches there will not be any problem as such.

In the otherhand if you trying to export the project from higher to lower patch there you have the problem. Becuase some bugs might have been fixed in the higher patch those are not avaialble in the lower. For example in some date function of BLS might have been fixed in updated patch,the same you copied then that particulr function will not work in the lower patch and the BLS will come with errors.

Hope this helps you.
