• Message text: &1 is not supported in lower XML versions

What causes this issue?

You have tried to export BRFplus objects into an XML file. Also, you
have chosen to use a lower XML version than the one used in the current
system. The system has determined that among the objects to be exported
there is one or more object of type &v1&. However, this object type has
been introduced with a higher XML version and is not supported by the
XML version that you have chosen for the export.

System Response

The XML data export has been canceled.

How to fix this error?

To solve the problem, proceed as follows:
Check if the target system where you want to import the exported data is
compatible with a higher XML version than the one you have chosen. If
so, increase the XML version used for the export.
If the XML version cannot be increased, check if it is possible to
remove all &v1& objects from the export data and replace them by a
different but functional equivalent rule design in the target system.
If none of the above approaches can be followed, then it is not possible
to use the export data in the target system.
