2732197 - Lifecycle management (Import/Export) between quarterly (QRC) and bi-weekly Release Cycle SAP Analytics Cloud Systems

• It is required to import content from a bi-weekly release cycle (RC) SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) system to a quarterly release cycle (QRC) SAC system or vice versa.
• This cannot be performed, as per the following information in the Deployment page of our online help:
  "Content can only be imported in the same version of the application from which it was exported, or the subsequent version (+1).
  After your system is upgraded again, you cannot import the content."
• You may see this error when trying to import an unsupported package:
  Cause: The content you are importing is not supported in this version. Please delete this package.
  
  
• Affected workflows:
• Importing content created by partners.
• Importing content for customers moving their system from an SAP to a non-SAP datacenter.

• SAP Analytics Cloud

• SAC is on a Quarterly Release Cycle to align with SAP’s global strategy for cloud application releases.
• Bi-weekly RC and QRC systems will have more than a one version difference (see exceptions below) meaning that content cannot be moved between them.

• Content can only be moved between systems on different release cycles at the time of a quarterly release cycle update.
• All tenants are within a one version difference at the time of a quarterly release cycle update so please transport content as soon as possible.
• For more information and an approximate timeline, see Note 2888562 - Intelligent Enterprise Suite: Harmonized release calendar for SAP Cloud solutions.
• See the attachment L1 - Quarterly release schedule - customer (1).pptx and https://www.sapanalytics.cloud/release-cycle for more information. 
• See Lifecycle Management in SAP Analytics Cloud for best practices.
