Opening an BI 4.0 dashboard with Xcelsius 2008

To revert your Xcelsius model to an earlier version of Xcelsius, you can simply update the XLF file as follows;

1. Backup your XLF file
2. Rename your XLF file to a ZIP file
3. Open the ZIP file and copy document.xml to your file system
4. Edit the XML file and update the following tag; version=”x.x” for the version you want to revert to. In my instance I am updating it from 6.0 to 5.3 as I am using Xcelsius 2008 SP3
5. Copy document.xml back into the ZIP file
6. Rename the ZIP file back to a XLF file

If you are using any components that are not part of the earlier release these will not work and remember that updating the XLF file is an UNSUPPORTED action.
