3112506 - How to avoid offline inconsistency during upgrade

Symptom

 How to avoid offline inconsistency during upgrade

Environment

SAP Cloud for Customer

Cause

With each new release, incompatible changes might cause issues for users working with offline functionality in Extended Apps.

Resolution

With each release update, users are recommended to use the latest version of the app to connect to their system once updated.
Restrictions/Limitations:
• As in every release, perform the initial data sync in the latest app version to fetch the latest offline functionality or else you can’t create or edit offline objects
• In case you use the older version of the app with the updated system, the data download will be blocked, but you can still work and upload offline changes based on the last version's code
• Usage of the new version of the app with a system on the previous version won’t be supported.
In a gist, user’s needs to have same release app as backend tenant to work in offline mode. This limitation will continue until further notice from Offline side.
