Clone Instance (Higher version to Lower version)

[Sai Pavan1]

Hi Community,

what happens when we clone a source instance which is in San Diego version to a target instance which is in Rome Version ?

Will the target instance gets upgraded to San Diego version automatically ? and will it contain all the data of the Source instance ?

The System Clone application will upgrade or downgrade the target instance to match the source - Clone to an instance on a different version.

And yes, it will contain "all" the data from the Source, although any Data Preservers and/or Table Exclusions will affect what data ends up in the target instance.
