Does Versions Conflict (7.1 vs 7.3)

Hi All,

I have a Requirement of Generating a Cube of my current environment (DB=Oracle) I'm New to PowerPlay Transformer
So, before even I start let me explain ...on my work Station theres already Impromptu 7.1 Installed and configured and I'm about start generating the PP CUBE in Ver7.3 (reasons being at the later stages if e'thing goes well I might have to Publish the Cube into CognosReportNet)

Well, My Q is does the versions conflict (like I have Impromtu 7.1 and if I install PP Transformer Edition for Windows Series 7 Version 3 )
or do I need to upgrade my Impromptu to 7.3 before even installing Transformer.

I really appreciate ur help. If anybody's been through this kind of situation please advice.

Thanks in Advance
Sudha

Hoepfully this might answer some of your questions if not all.

• Both versions 7.1 and 7.3 of Impromptu can co exist peacefully. However should you open a report by double clicking on it, the version that it will open in will depend on which one was installed last.


• In many cases .iqd files built from 7.1 can work well with Powerplay transformer 7.3. However I had experienced instances where Transfomer refused to read hotfiles generated from Impromptu 7.1/7.0.
  
  Best thing to do would be to keep Impromptu at the same level as Transformer on the box that is actually generating the cubes.
