If you import a model file that is based on an unsupported petal version (version 46 and below), you may lose data during the import process. It is recommended that you upgrade your model to petal version 47 or greater within Rational Rose if you want to import a model that currently resides in an unsupported petal version.
To upgrade your model, open and save the Rational Rose model in a version of Rational Rose that is based on petal version 47 or greater. Refer to the table below for petal details.
Once you upgrade your model to a supported petal version, you can safely import your model without losing data.
