DOWNGRADING RPD (VERSION 326 TO 325)


The following steps for downgrading rpd version from 326 to 325 are as follows:
  • Go to the command prompt and enter the following path
<BI_HOME>\bifoundation\server\bin

  • Then give the following command for downgrading rpd i.e.
Syntax: nqgenoldverrpd   [-P repository password] -I input_repository_pathname  –O output_repository_pathname -V version

  • nqgenoldverrpd -P Admin123 -I E:\OracleBIApps.rpd
-O D:\OracleBIApps7.rpd -V 325 --> enter
Where  
–P indicates Repository Password,
-I indicates input path where originally repository is taken (E:\OracleBIApps.rpd),
-V indicates the version to which we want to downgrade rpd.

  • Whereas –O indicates output path where downgraded rpd is placed (D:\OracleBIApps7.rpd -V 325)
          After entering, it starts reading as Reading E:\OracleBIApps.rpd...
After sometime, it shows as preprocessing...

  • After Preprocessing, the rpd will be downgraded in the specified path, here mentioned is in ‘D: \’

  2. I wonder can the reverse situation be resolved; after downgrading to 325, can it then be upgraded to 326
