Issue
Is it possible to downgrade a Continuum Database from one version to an older version?
Environment
Continuum
Cause
Want to go back to a previous version of Continuum after upgrading Cyberstations and the Continuum Database.
Resolution
No, this is not possible. You cannot downgrade a Continuum Database to an older version . You can upgrade but not downgrade.
If you have a database that has been upgraded for a specific version of Continuum and you want to go back to using an older version of Continuum, you will need to use a backup of your original Continuum Database that was initialized for that older version...or upgrade all Cyberstations to the newer version.
The Database structure is different between different versions of Continuum; corruption of the Database can occur if the above is not adhered to.
