Once your app is upgraded to v5.0.0 or higher, downgrading or rolling back to versions lower than v5.0.0 is not supported or recommended.
Note the minimum version requirements and job data migration when upgrading to this version.
Minimum Version Requirements

Checkpoint Nodes are running
qibb-checkpoints-nodes v4.0.0or higher. Please ensure your app is up-to-date before installing these nodes.Job management features in the Portal require the platform to be running on
qibb v1.45.0or higher.
Improved
Replaced the job database that lived in a local disk file with a dedicated database service that runs alongside the app.
Optimized the resource profiles for compute and memory consumption of the app, updating according app sizes. See Picking the right size for your flow app for latest app sizes, including suggestions for expected job management workload.
Manual migration of existing job data to new app version
In this release we’ve updated how the app stores job data by switching to a new database system. If you use older app versions in production and want to keep your existing jobs, please contact our support team for app upgrade and migration help. We can assist with migrating your jobs to the new app version.
If you upgrade from app versions
v4.0.1,v4.0.2, orv4.1.0:Your existing job will stay on the app’s filesystem. However, they will not be processed or shown in the Portal user interface and APIs unless they’re migrated.
If you upgrade from versions
v4.2.0orv4.2.1:Jobs stored using a dedicated storage will be removed during the upgrade. This means they will no longer be available after updating, you should export or back them up first if you need them.
