Version 12 backward compatibility to Version 10?
« on: May 21, 2015, 06:28:01 pm »
Hi,

a client of mine is using EA version 10. The client is also using a central repository to store the models in SQL Server.

I have EA 12 installed on my PC. Will this be causing any problems of I work on their models?
Can I connect to the repository and make changes to the model with my Version 12 or do I need to install the older version?

Regards,
Mario

For most of it you won't cause any problems.

Things to avoid:
- enumerations (v10 uses classes with enumeration stereotype)
- embedded office documents

It's not that these will crash the v10 application, but from v10 they will not be able to use those.
