Import object from different version of Blue Prism

[PaulaSolana]

Hello,

I'm trying to import an object from Trial Blue Prism 6.6 to Blue Prism 6.4.2. The import result is ok but the elements of the object appear out of place (all of them concentrated at one point) and there are a lot of errors.

Can anyone help me?
Thanks

You might have used some actions/config/settings which are exclusive to BP 6.6.

Can you show the snapshot of actual Object which you created ?

Both the version use a different xml notation for identifying the position of stages hence all the stages are accumulated into one.

You'll have to drag each stage to reveal whole flow. Not really sure of resolution, have you tried importing the release package instead?

​there is no fix for this one. BP has changed the XML format to reduce the size of process/object that occupies in DB

'space saving' introduced into v6.6 was to change the way coordinates and dimensions are stored in XML.

For example from this…

<displayx >210</displayx><displayy >-75</displayy>

…to this

<display x="210" y="-75" />

As a result, earlier BP versions cannot interpret the new XML and render every element at 0,0. That's why when you opened the diagram it looked so strange.

In the v6.6 release notes it does state the impact to the change in how BP stores Processes and Objects.  This means you cannot take v6.6 code and import into a previous vsn - "Objects and processes exported from version 6.6 cannot be used in previous versions of Blue Prism."
