Some aspects must be considered when working with different combinations of GeneXus and GeneXus Server.
Recommendation: Make sure that the GeneXus Server Upgrade is equal or higher than the GeneXus Upgrade. The reason is that new properties, or structural changes, may cause properties to lose their values when GeneXus Server's operations are performed.
For information about how to migrating a Knowledge Base between GeneXus Server instances, please refer to GeneXus Server Storage Migrator Utility.
Some considerations are necessary to work with this combination, refer to the Release Notes of the different upgrades of GeneXus X Evolution 3 to know whether new properties have been added and if that affects your installations.
