Hi Folks,
I enabled the setting to save in 2.1 AO workbooks in 1.x format. However, I face some issues where I am looking for some advice.
Upfront: I use AO 2.1 - SP2 and AO 1.4 SP14
1) Issue - Save as 1.4 option does not appear I have configured in C:\ProgramData\SAP\Cof\AO_app below settings But I still do not see the check box in the save dialog as you got in your picture. I do see undersettings the check box -> save 1.4 as default
2) Issue - 2.1 features are not removed during save When I set default save to 1.4 and save a workbook with a 2.1 feature in 2.1 AO it does not remove the features. When I open with AO 1.4 it complains that 2.1 features are there and warns that they will be lost. But when I refresh workbook it runs into an exception. My expectation was that during save as 1.4 in AO 2.1 the features would be removed so that AO 1.4 would have nothing at all to complain. When I save a workbook in AO 2.1 that contains no 2.1 features in 1.4 format it opens and refreshes fine in AO 1.4. Even when saved as 2.1 format it works fine.
So for me it seems that AO 2.1 will include AO 2.1 features independent of format option but AO 1.4 cannot handle any AO 2.1 features and crashes.
